Gallery: USA Veteran Plates

This section of ColoPlates will attempt to document all of the many license plates issued to veterans of the United States Armed Services. This includes the Army, Navy (and Marine Corps), Air Force, and Coast Guard. Given that there are 50 states (as well as territories and the District of Columbia) and a vast number of different plate types, it is naturally incomplete, and submissions are always welcome - see each page for details on what's needed.

The following tables, when complete, will include links to the various galleries. These include plates for awards of heroism or bravery, plates for special service or action in various campaigns, plates for membership (of veterans and/or their families) in a variety of fraternal organizations, and plates that simply honor service within any of the branches.
