VETERAN

1991 "Big Sky" base:  This design began in 1991 ("92" sticker) and ran to 1999 ("2000" sticker) when it was replaced by the "2000" design.  "VETERAN" appears above the military branch's coat of arms.

1998 (blue/reflective multicolored) Army veteran natural m $5.00 (actual plate)

"2000" base:  This design was issue beginning in 2000 to commemorate the turning to year 2000 and includes in the design a faint "2000" at the top of the plate above the state name.  The plate was phased in upon the vehicle's renewal with the owner receiving new plates with "01" stickers.  The plate was produced in embossed format in the beginning, but about mid-2003 ("2004" expiration stickers), was produced with flat plate numbers.  "VETERAN" appears at the bottom of the plate with the military branch's coat of arms at the left of the plate.
