Twenty-five years later, we still remember. Today, St. Martinville honors the lives lost on September 11, the first responders who rushed in, and the families who carry that loss every day.

Please take a quiet moment today to remember, and to thank someone who serves our community.

Happy Labor Day, St. Martinville. Today we pause to honor the hands that keep this city moving. The crews who patch our streets and restore our power after a storm. The teachers, nurses, first responders, cooks, farmers, and small business owners who pour themselves into this community day after day, often without being asked and rarely being thanked. Our city was built by working people, and that spirit still runs through every neighborhood along Bayou Teche. However you spend today, whether you are firing up the grill, resting with family, or still clocked in serving others, we hope you feel appreciated. Merci beaucoup to every worker who makes St. Martinville what it is.
