\"Omahalanding\"Today is November 11th – Veteran’s Day<\/strong> in the USA and Remembrance Day<\/strong> 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).<\/p>\n

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 \"Vetkneelsuscemetery\"many of us today know very little about, and appreciate even less. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow
\nBetween the crosses row on row,
\nThat mark our place; and in the sky
\nThe larks, still bravely singing, fly
\nScarce heard amid the guns below.<\/p>\n

We are the Dead. Short days ago
\nWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
\nLoved and were loved, and now we lie
\nIn Flanders fields.<\/p>\n

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
\nTo you from failing hands we throw
\nThe torch; be yours to hold it high.
\nIf ye break faith with us who die
\nWe shall not sleep, though poppies grow
\nIn Flanders fields. <\/p>\n

Lt. Col. John A. McCrae, M.D.<\/b>
