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 with
small American flags mounted on either side of it.The seven year old had
been staring at the plaque for sometime, so the pastor walked up, stood
beside the little boy, and said quietly, "Good morning Alex."
"Good morning "Pastor,what is this?" he asked the pastor.The pastor
said, "Well, son, it's a memorial plaque 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, he asked,  "Which service, the 8:30 or the 10:45?"
