Kevin Reed, 36, of Pensacola breaks down and weeps upon seeing the oil-defiled shores of Pensacola Beach on June 23, 2010. Reed's father taught him to swim in these waters, and Reed just taught his five year old son to swim here. "This will never be the same," he says. "I'd like to take the CEO of BP and jam his face in that pile on the beach."

Workers clean up oil that came ashore on Pensacola Beach overnight on June 23 as spectators watch. The waters on the beach are closed to the public and tar balls are still visible in the surf.
