I don't recall which commendation is noted on his plates but it's not the standard "US Navy" plate. I don't recall if that perk requires a specific commendation plate or whether the branch of service plates are sufficient. Might be worth checking into if your car spends a lot of time at the airport.

Fees are waived for vehicles bearing disabled veteran plates, or license plates of Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, Pearl Harbor survivors, Purple Heart FY 2014 Schedule of Charges Effective 10-01-13 20 recipients, Legion of Valor Medal recipients, Legion of Merit Medal recipients, WWII Veteran, Defense Superior Service Medal, Military Specialty License Plates for Extraordinary Service, Bronze Star Medal, Bronze Star Medal with Valor, Air Medal, Air Medal with Valor recipients, Distinguished Service Medal recipients, Air Force Cross, Air Force Distinguished Service Cross recipients, Army Distinguished Service Cross recipients, Navy Cross recipients, Silver Star Medal recipients,
or former POW’s from Texas or any other state.
I find it odd that fees are waved for the Air Medal, and Bronze Star, but not for the Distinguished Flying Cross which is a higher award than both of those.
