More veterans can get low-cost plate decals

The law lets more veterans and uniformed-service alumni get commemorative decals for special veterans license plates. You must have served in the U.S. uniformed services, be honorably discharged, and provide official proof of your award or service. Medal decals now include the Inherent Resolve Campaign Medal; the Air Medal is no longer on the list. Branch decals now cover Space Force, the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, and the NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps; Coast Guard is no longer listed in this branch group. You can get one set of two decals per set of special veterans plates, and you must place one on the front and one on the back plate. The fee per set is capped at $5.
