Starting Jan. 1, special Wyoming license plates will be available for any parent, grandparent or spouse of a member of the U.S. armed forces who died while in service.
The plate features a gold star and the words “Remember the Fallen” over the American flag. The gold star became a symbol for fallen service members during World War II, when families displayed them in their windows if a family member died in military service.
The $30 application fee required for the specialty plates will be paid by the Wyoming Veteran’s Commission through 2012.
