From the February 8, 2023, WWAY 3 ABC Wilmington, N.C.
The Order of the Long Leaf Pine was presented to Wilmington resident and native Wilbur Jones on Tuesday night during the City Council meeting.
Captain Jones received this prestigious honor for his service to the Tar Heel State.
Jones is a veteran, author and historian.
He also plays a role in having Wilmington named as the first American World War II Heritage City.
The amount of knowledge this man has on Wilmington during the war is amazing. He is to World War II as Chris Fonvielle is to Wilmington's Civil War history.
A Well-Deserved Honor. --GreGen
