The six-year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the little boy, and said quietly, “Good morning, Joey.”
“Good morning Pastor,” he replied, still focused on the plaque. “Pastor, what is this? “
The pastor said, “Well son, it’s a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service.”
Soberly, they just stood together, staring at the large plaque.
Finally, little Joey’s voice, barely audible and trembling with fear asked, “Which service, the 8:30 or the 10:30?”
