One Sunday morning, the Minister of a church noticed little Alex standing in the foyer of the church staring up at a large plaque.
It was covered with names and small Australian flags mounted on either side of it. The six-year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the Minister walked up, stood beside the little boy, and said quietly, 'Good morning Alex.' 'Good morning Minister,' he replied, still focused on the plaque.
'Minister, what is this? '
The Minister 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 10:30?'
