Memorial Day
One Sunday morning the pastor noticed little Johnny was
standing staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church.
The young man of seven had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked
up and stood beside him and gazing up at the plaque he said quietly, "Good morning,
Son." "Good morning, Pastor," replied the young man, not taking his eyes
off the plaque.
"Sir, what is this?" Johnny asked. "Well son, these are all the people who
have died in the service", replied the pastor. Soberly, they stood together staring
up at the large plaque.
Little Johnny's voice barely broke the silence when he asked quietly, "Which one,
Sir? The 8:30 or the 10:30?"
