INNOCENCE IS PRICELESS
One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex standing in

the foyer of the church staring up at a large plaque. It was covered with

names and small American flags mounted on either side of it. 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 Alex.'

'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 Alex's voice, barely audible

and trembling with fear asked, 'Which service, the 8:30 or the 10:45?'
