One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex was staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church.
It was covered with names, and small American flags were mounted on either side of it.
The seven-year-old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the boy and said quietly, "Good morning, Alex."
"Good morning, Pastor," replied the young man, still focused on the plaque. "Pastor McGhee, what is this?" Alex asked.
"Well, son, it's a memorial to all the men and women who have died in the service."
Soberly, they stood together, staring at the large plaque.
Little Alex's voice was barely audible when he asked, "Which one, the 9:00 or the 10:30 service?"

Nice one Amy - thanks. I am so sorry that our friend did not know that she would be in the spotlight today.
when folks have jobs, and places other where to be, I think that they, and their schedule should be coordinated with the spotlight so as not to miss them. And vice versa.
When Daisy "did" me, at first I was so mortified that I wished the machine would just die and go away, but then I decided to be a good sport and have some fun with it. It was exhausting, trying to reply to each and every reply to the thread, but by day's end I realized once more what a wonderful place is FR, and how much my on-line patriot friends mean to me.
Utah Girl - CALL HOME! Soon please, JL
