Today is November 11th – Veteran’s Day in the USA and Remembrance Day in Canada. It’s the day that we all take a few moments on the 11th hour to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of the freedom we enjoy every day. it’s that freedom that allows us to live our lives in wonderful and glorious democracy, and that freedom that allows sites such as Hamsexy to exist (and the right to be able to visit it).
We count members of the armed forces as members and friends of the Hamsexy family, both past and present. Take a moment today to speak to either an active member of the military or a veteran of a foreign war, and you’ll greater appreciate the price that we pay every day for freedom. Take special effort to speak to those who served in the Second World War – their insight, wisdom and experiences will give you an understanding of the evolution of our freedom, and open up a past that so 
many of us today know very little about, and appreciate even less.
To those who have served and died in previous wars, and those who are serving today in places such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia and Haiti, we here at Hamsexy honor you and the sacrifice you and your families make ensuring the banner of freedom continues to fly. God bless and protect all of you.
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Lt. Col. John A. McCrae, M.D.
