These plates will cost $5 for the alphanumeric version or $40 for a custom message. They will be available for purchase starting January 1 on the DMV’s Military Honor plates page.

A new plate for the Air National Guard has been added to the Military Honor Plates and is available to members of the Air National Guard to showcase their service.

Finally, there will be a new plate for all Nebraskans to show their support for the men and women who serve in the Armed Forces. The new Support Our Troops plate will cost $5 for the alphanumeric version and $70 for a custom message, with proceeds going towards Veteran Employment Program.
