Starting in the New Year there is a new way you can show your support for Hoosier troops.

New Support Our Troops license plates will be available in Indiana.

The Governor unveiled the plate Thursday saying it is just a small way to say thanks to the troops.

The plate features a portion of a waving U.S. flag, a yellow ribbon and the words Support Our Troops at the bottom.

The plates will cost an extra $35.

A portion of the sales proceeds will go to a fund to help the families of deployed Indiana National Guard members and reservists.

What a small sacrifice to help out our troops.

[Just A Nobody]

Every state should have these available!

[Just A Nobody]

Yay Indiana ping!

[Earthdweller]

Woohoo!! I don't get my plates for a few months. I can't wait.

[StarCMC]

Oh WOW!! That is so cool! Pinging a few friends...

[Earthdweller]

Hoosiers Support Our Troops Ping!

If you would like on or off this Indiana Ping list please send me a FReepmail.

[Just A Nobody]

They look really good!

Hope you and yours had a wonderful Christmas and have a prosperous and Happy New Year!

[Earthdweller]

Same to you!!

[Bahbah]

I wonder if we could get something like that here in Missouri.

[E.G.C.]

BTTT

Do you know what 'portion' will go to help the troops?

I'd rather donate where 100% will go to the vets and their families.

The anti-war left of the 60's has to be utterly horrified at the support troops get today. Jane Fonda, John Kerry, et. al. really thought that soldiering would be a despised profession by the dawn of the 21st century, and that America would have statues of anti-war protesters on every town square in America. Instead, they are forced to say "we support the troops, but not the war" like they've been tortured with a cattle prod for 10 hours.

I hope we can get this kind of license tag here in Mississippi.

Nevada has something similar: http://www.dmvnv.com/images/uws.jpg

You can also get plates for individual service branches as well as Purple Heart plates and Veteran plates, including Pearl Harbor. I suspect it won't be long before we have "Support Our Troops" as well.

If Arizona had the same I'd gladly pay the additional $15 to put them all 3 vehicles.

[mystery-ak]

So cool...I wish Illinois had them.

I wish we could get this on our plates:

[hoyaloya]

Don't think the guberner would allow that.

[Sir Hailstone]

Plate looks good. Too bad the Muskrat and the Looney Left people like Jen Wagner of TDW would turn this into something they would try to use against Gov. Mitch. "Look! They are selling license plates the support an illegal war!"

Damned 'Rats.

For 2007, Indiana also offers, for no extra charge, a plate with the motto "In God We Trust". That ought to drive the ACLU over the edge.

That's very awesome! (But they look like Texas plates - pretty boring. I say this having come here from Florida where they are colorful and many.)
