Nebraska Veterans Honor License Plates

I lived in Denver for 13 years and moved back to Nebraska in 2003. Colorado had many different License Plates for Veterans and I had Vietnam Veterans Plates that had a helicopter in the middle of it. Nebraska had no plates for veterans except for Disabled Veteran, Pearl Harbor Survivor, Ex POW and Purple Heart. I was really upset about this so I kept my Colorado Vietnam Veterans Plates on my car and even for some time after they expired. I sent an E-mail to all Nebraska Senators and basically was told by one who actually responded that they didn't want too many plates in NE. Well, finally, they are issuing Veterans Honor Plates in Nebraska for U S Army, U S Air Force, U S Coast Guard, U S Marines, U S National Guard and U S Navy. Each plate will have the United States Flag waving at the top of the plate and state the Branch of Service and have the Service Emblem. Each plate will have five numbers/alpha characters or cone can personalize it with five numbers/alpha characters. It will cost $5 a year for the next number number plates and $40 a year for the personalized plates. I ordered mine as soon as possible and received them and had them on my care the 8th of January. I am so glad NE got on board with other states to issue Veterans Plates but do wish they would have released plates for specific wars a veteran may have served in but, again, just happy to finally have veterans plates on my car.
