On Dec 9^th, 2006 Mocksville Fire Department held its annual Christmas / Awards Dinner. Guest included Mocksville Town Board members and many retired members from our department. One year service awards were given to FF Lonnie Horne and FF Johnny Willard. Ten year service awards were given to FF Victor Ramirez and FF Ray Moore. The highlight of the evening was when Capt Jimmy Kelly was awarded the Order of the Long Leaf Pine for over 45 years of service to the Mocksville Fire Department. This is the highest award given to any civilian in the state. Congratulations to all award recipients and thank you to all members for a great year.
