Order of the Long Leaf Pine
The Order of the Long Leaf Pine, created in 1964, is an honor that can be granted in the U.S. state of North Carolina. Although the Longleaf Pine is often quoted as the official state tree of North Carolina,〔,〕 the actual state law refers only to a generic pine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ncleg.net/enactedlegislation/statutes/html/bysection/chapter_145/gs_145-3.html )〕 As of 2009, it was believed the Order had been awarded to more than 15,000 people.〔http://www.longleafpinesociety.org〕
The ''Order of the Long Leaf Pine'' is among the most prestigious awards presented by the Governor of North Carolina. The ''Order of the Long Leaf Pine'' is presented to individuals who have a proven record of extraordinary service to the state. Contributions to their communities, extra effort in their careers, and many years of service to their organizations are some of the guidelines by which recipients are selected for this award. The honor is most often presented when a person retires.
A state employee can be awarded ''The Order'' if the employee has contributed more than 30 years of dedicated and enthusiastic service to the state of North Carolina.
The Order is similar to honors bestowed in other states, such as the Kentucky colonel and South Carolina's Order of the Palmetto. Originally, the Order was a symbolic honor for visiting dignitaries, but later it became an honor for notable North Carolinians. Although sometimes called the state's highest civilian honor in an order of precedence, that distinction legally belongs to the North Carolina Award.〔(News & Observer: And his little dog, too... )〕 After the North Carolina Award and the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, the next award in order of precedence is The Old North State Award and then The Cardinal Award, all of which are bestowed by His or Her Excellency, The Governor of North Carolina, currently His Excellency Governor Pat McCrory.
