I photographed several 9/11 memorial ceremonies and events around Panama City this weekend. Here are a handful of photographs from those events.

| Retired U.S. Navy Seal Bill Bruhmuller gets emotional as the National Anthem is sung during the Panama City Remembers 9/11 event at Smith's Yacht Basin next to the Shrimpboat Restaurant on Saturday. "We must show patriotism and loyalty to America," Bruhmuller said. "You never heal from something like this, but you get to go ahead and be strong for the people who lost their lives. That’s what they would have wanted." (Andrew Wardlow/Panama City News Herald) |

| Twisted steel girders from between the 9th and 12th floors of Tower 2 of the World Trade Center were the backdrop for the 9/11 memorial event at Tyndall Air Force Base in Panama City on Sunday. Along with the girders, Tyndall's 9/11 memorial includes scorched limestone from the Pentagon and chisled segments of flagstone from a quarry near Shanksville, Pa.

| Craig Robarts, with Panama City Beach Fire Rescue, carries a fire hose while participating in the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb at the Laketown Wharf condominiums in Panama City Beach on Saturday. The camaraderie shared between the fire fighters and those who were killed on Sept. 11, 2001, kept the memorial event a celebration of life. (Andrew Wardlow/Panama City News Herald) |
