The Memorial Plaque
One Sunday morning , the preacher noticed little Billy was staring up at the 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 preacher walked up , stood beside the little boy , and said quietly : " Good morning , Billy ."
" Good morning , Preacher ," replied the young man , still focused on the plaque .
" Preacher , what is this ?"
" Well , son , it ' s a memorial to all the young men and women who died while in the service ."
Soberly , they stood together , staring at the plaque .
Little Billy ' s voice was barely audible when he asked : " Which service , the 9:45 or the 11:00 ?"
