What Plates are available to support our troops or are available to those serving or to Veterans?

This is a license plate that anyone in Alberta, Canada can pay extra to have on their cars. Please show us , on RP, what one can get from the various states and/or territories that Active, Reserve, Guard, veteran or retired can purchase for their vehicles or motorcyles. I know some may just be in support of military personnel while others must show proof of service or award to get these plates. Happy Memorial Day!
Never forget the fallen. RIP 1SG Blue Rowe, Delta Company, 426th CA BN, Afghanistan May, 2009.

It is going to depend on the state, but Most states have this as an option, I remember the case for Iowa, California and Virginia.

What grates on my nerves is having to pay extra for my plates with US Navy veteran. You would think the state would do this at no charge.

Fucking Canadians lost the war in Afghanistan. Funny thing is talk to the average Canadian soldier and they are in complete denial of this fact.

Great plates. As a note, California has special military related plates, but you will pay extra for the plates with an additional annual fee.

They claim that the fees collected for these specialty plates go towards veterans causes. Not entirely true. They have borrowed from the fund (transferred money to the general fund) and to my knowledge, never repaid the monies. They did this to most of the special plate funds.

It's State dependent Sir. Some States offer plates for free, some offer them at a price. Some offer certain plates for free, for example if a SM received a Purple Heart then they would receive a specialized Veteran plate for free. Some other award variant plates might be available as well, such as a BSM plate.

In my State it costs $25 to get a Veteran plate if you show them a CAC or DD214, I think a portion of the money goes to a Veteran based charity.

This is actually a great question because despite being out for 2 years I didn't think about military plates until this year when I was doing my registration renewal. I'm in NC and the process was actually fairly easy despite being given the runaround initially. All I had to do was get a form filled out be the VA which happened to be around the corner. Attached is the first part of the form which shows how many options there are along with whether or not they carry an extra fee.

In Alaska, for veterans at 50% disability or higher, they get the "Disabled Veteran" plates for free and vehicle registration is waived off for life.Plenty of other plates to include unit patches.

Thanks for sharing LTC Private RallyPoint Member. Most states have many different license plates that support service members and veterans of all stripes.
