Three of the new plates recognize service members who received medals or honors for individual achievements or deployments. The plates are the standard license plate colors of white, blue and gold and bear a graphic of the medal awarded. For a fee of $26, the plates are available for use on passenger cars or trucks with a registered gross weight of not more than 14,000 pounds.

Gen. John Pippy, Acting Adjutant General and head of the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. “In particular, to include three plates that recognize women for their impactful contributions to the defense of our nation.”
