Yep, Virginia and South Carolina both have SCV plates. Both had the usual expected controversy about it but the SCV prevailed in the end.

This plate is a little different, though. The SC, NC, and VA plates aren't "Confederate Heritage" plates, but are specifically for members of the SCV (I think you have to show membership in order to get them, much the same way I'd have to show my ham radio license to get an amateur radio tag). They have the SCV seal on them and "Sons of Confederate Veterans" text on the plates. This looks like a generic plate that you wouldn't have to be a member of the SCV to purchase, and as such, may be more vulnerable to the SPLC or some other anti-Southern organization finding a judge to throw it out. The SCV plates tend to make it through because it's not legal to deny one organization a plate while letting others have theirs.

FL takes specialty plates to a whole new level. They are like murals and fancy paintings. I do like the SCV plate design - it's sharp.

BTW: vetvetdoug - there's a "keep the dream alive" place in that list.

Yeah, that's right, but the Virginia SCV actually had to go to court to fight for equal treatment.

Georgia's got 'em. I've had mine since 2000. It's an SCV tag, but not required to be an active member! I consider it an honor to my gr-gr-grandfather Greenberry King private in the Ga 56th Infantry Co. G. Army of the Tennesse
