Died in Service
Posted on May 3rd, 2008 by maxy
One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed a young girl 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.
She had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the her, and said quietly, “Good morning.” “Good morning Pastor,” she replied, still focused on the plaque. “Pastor, what is this?” she asked the pastor. The pastor said, “Well, it’s a memorial to all the other young men and women who have died in the service.”
Soberly, they just stood together, staring at the large plaque. Finally, her voice, barely audible and trembling with fear, asked, “Which service, the 8:30 or the 10:45″
