Community members, veterans and volunteers came together at the Elks Lodge No. 2709 in Palm Coast on Wednesday for a remembrance ceremony recognizing the 18th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

"This a very solemn and moving ceremony that happens every year," said Debra Davies, a leading knight at the lodge. "A lot of our Elks were first responders, and we don't want the world to forget we are still standing."
