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.

Making your own servus just unique and you are unique guy to be a ranger and MP. I was lucky to have in civil affairs my team Sergeant became Soldier of the civil Affairs command in my area and he was able to go to Ranger school and he eventually became a warrant officer now he is flying Blackhawk helicopters and the Army Reserve and he's an LA County Sheriff's deputy since that's his full-time job but I wouldn't be surprised he ends up working for Los Angeles County Sheriff Department in aviation someday. Awesome custom license plate sir

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.

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.

Litterally the first nation state ever to just pack up and leave an AO with the enemy still on the battlefield because of a time table. Had they ceeded their battle space in 2009 to 2nd MEB we would have crushed the taliban, instead they held onto it till 2011 even though they had pulled most combat troops back to large bases since 2008 and had no idea what was going on in Kandahar City, Afghanistans 2nd largest

Cpl John Barker - this was not made at the Battalion or company level. I'm sure many of you had positive experiences with Canadians. I had the situation when I was in Afghanistan where our forward operating base had Italian Alpine troops and special forces that just sat around and did mostly nothing. Maybe they would escort a convoy or two like the Spanish did but their constitutions did not allow them to fight or to engage in movement to contact looking for the enemy. A provincial reconstruction team Farah we got along great with the Italians some of them spoke Spanish to me so I was able to converse with them since most of them didn't speak English and I speak Spanish as a second language. We didn't have any vehicles that had 25mm cannons but there's did. They never went out with us to do key leader engagements in the city. I know you Marines fighting and dying a few kilometers away in Bala Bal UK whatever it was called getting shot up all the time. Before I got there, the female Navy PRT Commander refused to help send troops to assist you. She was later dimed out or recognized by fellow Marines and shamed at out at a counterinsurgency conference that she was facilitating after she made Navy Captain 06 rank.

They are in total denial, like they think their infantry soldiers are trained on par with our Green Berets, even though they are only allocated 57 rounds a year, mostly for function checks

Cpl John Barker - http://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/blue-c-rowe/ this Memorial Day I remember my first sergeant blue Rowe. I broken my ankle and Afghanistan and I have been Medevac doubt and I heard the news about this time back in 2009 while recuperating at Madigan Army Medical Center at Fort Lewis Washington. I lost a good first sergeant. I'm one of the first to discuss him in Praise when I was a captain back in 2009.
