Harrisburg – Members and
veterans of the United States Armed Forces decorated for valor or meritorious
service during a time of armed conflict can now proudly display their medal
through a new series of military license plates offered by PennDOT.
“Members
of our armed forces who have received these medals have proven their commitment
to their fellow service men and women and to protecting our freedom under the
worst of circumstances,” said PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch. “PennDOT is
proud to recognize them once more and give them an opportunity to publicly
display their distinguished honors.”
PennDOT’s
new series of plates offers a design exhibiting one of the following military
decorations: Distinguished Service Cross, Distinguished Flying Cross, Navy
Cross, Air Force Cross, Silver Star, Bronze Star for Valor and Bronze Star.
Veterans
and military personnel interested in these new plates can visit PennDOT’s Driver
and Vehicle Services website,www.dmv.state.pa.us,
and select the “Military License Plates” link under the “Military
Personnel/Veterans” Information Center for a complete listing of available
military license plates. The page provides images of each plate and links to the
appropriate application form.
In
addition to these plates, PennDOT’s Specialty Plate Program offers a variety of
license plates including those honoring individuals who have served in the U.S.
Armed Forces and in major conflicts from World War II to Operation Enduring
Freedom.
The
majority of military license plates can be requested by filling out Form MV-150,
“Application for U.S. Military Veteran Registration Plate,” which also contains
instructions for applying for the plates and the respective fees.
Specialty
license plates are also offered for active-duty and reserve military personnel
and members of service-related organizations. A link to the listing of these
license plates is also on the Military License Plates Web page, and applications
