Having served in the U.S.
Armed Forces — first as
a paratrooper in the
Army’s 101st Airborne
Division, then later as a
member of the Illinois
National Guard, I
understand the sacrifices
veterans have made for
our country and share
their pride.
My office offers several military license plates to
honor those who have served this great country. If
you qualify for any of these special military plate
categories, I encourage you to proudly display these
plates on your vehicle and get the recognition you
deserve.
