What country do you live in?
Colorado USA. Here we have license plates dedicated to Purple Heart
recipients, POWs (free!), and "Honorably Discharged Veteran" (as if
that is some sort of rare achievement. We don't have recognition
plates for Silver Star, DFC, etc. We do, however, have a special plate
encouraging folks to adopt a greyhound.

We have about 50 or more "specialty" plates in Louisiana Ed, including
one for the PH recipients (free, as long as you belong to the state
version of the Purple Heart Legion or whatever it's called nowadays,
that costs at least 20 bux), and you can get a "Veteran" or "Retired"
plate, for a goodly price in the service of your choice. I think they
have them for every college and university in the state too. Some of
them are almost as ridiculous as adopt a greyhound. Our politicians are
always interested in making a buck or two and keeping the folks at the
state prison busy. VBG
