good find, doesn't apply to me but at least the state does something for the ones who have given up so much to protect what everyone enjoys.

Dont forget that DV's get free hunting license in Illinois as well. Gotta get your free whitetail fix! (as much as I hate going to IL, but Pike Co is the #2 spot in the country)

[HBARleatherneck]

well, if you want to get into other states.

Several states offer Vetarans a free in state college education. Sadly, not this one.

Just checked out he state deal - it's only good for the vehicle you have DV paltes on (which for me is my truck) - I never go to state parks with my truck - maybe I will start!

[theGinsue]

I've got to go back to the VA for a re-eval on a couple of things. Maybe I'll get bumped to 60% to get the license.

[HBARleatherneck]

hint: you can get DV plates on more than 1 vehicle. all your vehicles.

i dont have DV plates on any of mine. I love my Marine Corps plates. They need a DV USMC plate.

?? I was informed that you could only get them on 1 vehicle. I've got to read the link you posted referencing the DV plates.

[HBARleatherneck]

no, you get as many as you want, just one set is tax exempt. here is the quote from the website.
http://www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite/Revenue-MV/RMV/1201542141638#disabledveteran

To Obtain a Set: The first exempt set is issued by the State Registration Section:


In Person Division of Motor Vehicles
Department of Revenue
1881 Pierce Street
Lakewood, Colorado 80214-3503
By MailDepartment of Revenue
Registration Section
Denver, CO 80261-0016


Second and additional sets may be obtained at respective resident County Motor Vehicle Offices.

Fees: One set of plates is exempt from fees allowed by CRS 42-3-213(1)(b)(II)(B). A second or additional set requires a one time fee of $50.00 for issuance or replacement of plates, in addition to other taxes and fees.

Number of Plates Allowed: Exempt - One set only. Second and additional - Unlimited.

Thanks HBAR. I was JUST getting ready to paste that same thing into this post!


Fees: ... A second or additional set requires a one time fee of $50.00 for issuance or replacement of plates, in addition to other taxes and fees.

So, I've got to pay a one-time additional fee of $50 per vehicle - above and beyond the normal registration fees to transfer my plates over to DV plates? This state is going to get their money out of you any way they can.

i heard once that only 2 % of the population of the US will serve in the military. I say, tack a quarter on to those peoples bill, who had more important things to do than serve thier country and pay for thier freedom.
