So today, I stopped by the "wonderful" Pennsylvania Department of Motor Vehicles and got my new license that now has a small US Flag with the word "VETERAN" under it on my license. All it took was filling out a form, checking the box that said I'm a Veteran and $27.50 (since I was getting a duplicate license; I could have waited until 2016 and paid less to renew it). Within a few minutes I walked out with my new license.

I did ask the guy that I worked with if the state is vetting the applications and they are so that is good. If someone checks they are a Veteran but aren't they will go to jail.

My question to the RP Community is this...does your state offer the same type of identifier? If so, do you have it? Not really sure what good it will do to have this identifier but I rather have it since I earned it.

Here in NC we are required to provide a copy of our DD214 and then you get a license with "VETERAN" on it.

UT has also done this and since I ride a Harley. I am like you if I happen to get pulled over it might get me a roadside counseling instead of a ticket. lol

When I went TDY with my truck, I always had a uniform visible. I got out of two tickets even when I said I knew I was speeding lol
