Michigan Honors Women Veterans with New License Plate Design

Michigan has introduced a new license plate to honour women veterans across the state. The design recognises their service and contributions, featuring a dedicated vignette and special inscription. Over 44,000 women veterans in Michigan are now eligible to request one. The initiative was championed by Commander Lolita Tucker, a U.S. Army veteran who pushed for its creation. Tucker served from 1996 to 2003, with deployments to Japan, Kuwait, and Iraq. She became the first recipient of the new plate.

The plate includes a silhouette of a woman veteran alongside the words *Her Service Our Freedom*. At the bottom, the label *Woman Veteran* clearly identifies its purpose. Michigan also revived two older license plate designs from over 40 years ago, adding a nostalgic touch to the new release. Eligible veterans can order the specialty plate online or by visiting any Secretary of State office. The state aims to make the process straightforward for those who served.

The new license plate formally acknowledges the service and sacrifices of Michigan’s women veterans. With over 44,000 eligible recipients, the design ensures their contributions are visibly recognised. Orders are now open through state offices and online channels.
