NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont announced on Friday that the state's Department of Motor Vehicles will now offer 10 license plate options for veterans that commemorate specific wartime periods, including the Afghanistan War, Grenada, the Iraq War, the Korean War, Lebanon, Operation Earnest Will, Panama, the Persian Gulf War, the Vietnam War, and World War II.
The aforementioned plates are offered in addition to the standard Connecticut license plate for veterans and are available exclusively for veterans who served during these specific periods of war and those who received campaign medals.
“Expanding the license plate options offered to veterans is a wonderful opportunity to honor their service,” Lamont said. “Not only will it enable our state to recognize those who served during specific periods of war, but it will also serve as a consistent reminder that Connecticut is home to many thousands of veterans who have admirably served our nation. I thank all of the veterans and advocates who worked with our administration to turn this idea into reality.”
The license plates are available for passenger, commercial, combination, camper, and camp trailer types, and cost $27.50. Veterans can request a new veteran plate by completing the Special Plate Application Form on the DMV’s website.
