PANAMA CITY BEACH — A large parade and ceremony for wounded veterans is set to take place Feb. 26 in Panama City Beach. Warrior Beach Retreat is a tradition now in its 17th year. Organizers treat veterans and their spouses from around the country to a week on the beach with activities and meals at swanky local restaurants. In previous reporting by the News Herald, attendees said the occasion was healing and helped with some of the more invisible wounds that they're enduring . The center of the occasion is a parade, where veterans are escorted through the city alongside bikers, antique military vehicles and police.
