V is for Veteran
July 12th, 2011 by flanewsA new drivers license program is making it easier to identify veterans.
Today the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles rolled out its new veterans license, which is just the same as a regular license except for a small “V” in the bottom right hand corner. The change was adopted after years of lobbying by Daniel Garza a retired Army staff sergeant and CEO of Tampa based Operation Enduring Gratitude.
“The initial reason I wanted it on there was a bunch of merchants and retailers who want to give us discounts on a daily biases, but they don’t know who we are,” said Garza.
Veterans who want to change their license need to bring their DD-214, which is proof of an honorable discharge and pay one dollar for the V.
