PLAQUEMINE — This week on 2 Your Town, WBRZ is proud to head to Plaquemine the week of Nov. 9-13 to honor the men and women who have served our country during the community's Salute to Veterans celebration.

We're dedicating ourselves to highlighting the towns you call home. We're shining a spotlight on local schools, one-of-a-kind businesses, and the amazing people who make South Louisiana such a vibrant place to live, work, eat and play.

Throughout the week, Channel 2 has been sharing stories highlighting the area's economic growth, local leaders and the traditions that help drive the community forward.

On Wednesday, WBRZ broadcast live from the Salute to Veterans event at the Veterans Memorial along Railroad Avenue in Plaquemine, where a 40-piece Marine Corps Reserve Band, military color guard and an F-15 Air Force flyover will be present to memorialize veterans from 10 a.m. to noon.
