Welcome to

On Friday we told you about newly released license plates for Vietnam and Korean veterans. Information provided by the Department of Highway Safety was that the plates were free to veterans who could prove they served in one of the two conflicts.

That turns out not to be the case. What Department Spokesperson Kristen Olsen-Doolan meant to say is that there was no additional charge for the plates beyond the normal vehicle tag fee that is due on all tags.

So if you are a Vietnam or Korean veteran, there is finally a license plate for you. It just isn’t free.
