 These plates are issued to veterans of the Armed Forces.
Initially, these plates were issued to those who suffered loss of a limb.
The first iteration of this type was identical to passenger plates with a 'DV' prefix followed by 1 to 3 numbers.
Later on, the 'Veteran' caption was added and all-numeric serials with 1 to 4 digits were used.
In late 1997 a new graphic plate was introduced, with a light blue gradient background and a flag to the left. These plates were now available to ALL veterans. The initial series of these plates was from 100-VET to 999-VET. Later, a generic 100-VAA series was started. Combination plates started in the 100-VSA series.
Handicapped Veteran plates are also issued on this new base, with a 'V' suffix. See picture below.

| ca. 1953. I'm not sure whether this plate belongs here or not. It's widely held that the DV type started with the 1957 base; but I'm not sure what else this could be. The 'D' series wasn't used for normal passenger plates. |
