On my most recent visit to the
Deparlment of Motor Vehicles in
the Grafton Chamber of Com-
merce building, I applied for a
North Dakota Veterans License
plate and guess what you can too!
There are many varying kinds of
plates that you can apply for and
even some plates that you can get
without having to be a veteran.
Some of the plates that are avail-
able are as follows:
The first is the standard Veter-
an Plate that comes in versions
for the Army, Navy, Air Force,
Marines, and Coast Guard. Ini-
tial fee of $15.00 and a yearly fee
of $10.00 are processed for these
plates. $5.00 dollars of this an-
nual fee goes to the North Dako-
ta Veterans Cemetery. You do
need to certify on a SFN 51628
that you were a veteran of the
United States military.

The second plate is the Yellow Ribbon "Support our Veterans" Plate.
This plate is available to the general public through the North Dakota Vet-
erans Affa'Lrs and you do not need to be a veteran to apply for these plates.
The initial fee is $25.00 and the yearly renewal is $25.00 ofwhich $15.00
will be donated to the North Dakota Veterans Emergency Needs Char-
itable Fund.
The third most common plate is the National Guard Plate and in or-
der to receive this plate one has to be a member of the National Guard
or a 20+ year retiree to be eligible. In order to apply for these plates one
has to contact the Adjutants Generals office and receive a form from them
and pay an initial $5.00 fee.
Other types of plates include the Disabled American Veterans Plate for
those that are 100% disabled as a result of their service. The Gold Star
Plate is available to surviving family members whose loved one died while
on active duty during a time of military conflict. The Purple Heart plate
is available to those that have received a Purple Heart medal for their
wounds sustained in combat and the POW Plate for those that have been
prisoners of war.
If you have any questions feel free to call or stop by the Walsh Coun-
ty Veterans Service Office at 638 Cooper-Avenue Suite 5 Grafton, ND
58237 701-352-5030.
