Congratulations Mr. Ken Reddic

The Order of the Long Leaf Pine is the highest recognition the state of North Carolina can award one of its citizens.
This is an extremely rare honor that few receive. Past recipients include names like Evangelist Billy Graham, Actor Andy Griffith, Poet Maya Angelou, TV Personality Oprah Winfrey, Basketball Star Michael Jordan, Artist Bob Timberlake, Racecar Driver Dale Earnhardt, and Basketball Coaches Dean Smith and Coach K.
On behalf of Governor Roy Cooper, Marine FCU Chairman of the Board Chuck Collins awarded Ken Reddic this recognition for his 40+ years of service to Onslow County and the rural counties of Eastern North Carolina on November 12.
He was a teacher, coach, principal, and administrator within Onslow County Schools. He also spent many years developing curriculum for the poorer counties in the eastern part of our state. And, he spent six years on the Onslow County Board of Education, serving as its chairman for the past three.
Ken currently serves on the Board of Directors for Marine FCU
Marine Federal Hits Asset Milestone
.jpg)
Jacksonville, North Carolina – Marine Federal Credit Union came into existence on April 20, 1959, when eight gentlemen made the request to become a federal credit union that would serve the Military, Department of Defense employees, and their families aboard Marine Corp Base Camp Lejeune. On April 24, 1959, the request was approved by the Bureau of Federal Credit Unions.
The first official office/branch was located in a warehouse aboard Camp Lejeune. It was heated by a pot-bellied stove and secured by a chicken wire fence. Sixty-five years later, on Monday, October 15, over 250 past and present employees, military and government dignitaries, our suite of volunteers serving on the Board, and our Supervisory Committee gathered to celebrate the milestone of surpassing a billion dollars in assets.
“It took us 65 years to parlay $40 into $1,000,000,000 dollars at the end of August,” said Chuck Collins, Marine FCU’s Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Collins recognized the Board Volunteers and Executive Teams, past and present, who helped achieve this success.

Marine Federal Credit Union is proud to celebrate a remarkable achievement by our Board Member, Isaiah “Ike” Johnson

Some individuals serve their communities out of obligation—others do so because it is simply who they are. Ike Johnson exemplifies the very best of that spirit.
We are honored to recognize Ike for receiving the Governor’s Medallion Award for Volunteer Service, presented by VolunteerNC and the Office of Governor Josh Stein on May 11, 2026. This prestigious recognition is a testament to his unwavering dedication and meaningful contributions to our community.
Those who know Ike understand that his impact goes far beyond any single award or moment. Through his consistent leadership, generosity, and genuine care for others, he has uplifted countless individuals and organizations. He leads with humility, compassion, and a true servant’s heart—often giving of himself without seeking recognition.
At Marine Federal, we are proud to have leaders like Ike who embody our core values and commitment to community. His example reminds us all of the difference one person can make through kindness, service, and integrity.
Ike, your dedication inspires us, and our community is stronger because of you. Thank you for all that you do.
Please join us in congratulating Ike Johnson on this outstanding and well-deserved honor!
