Does anyone here get their medals on license plates? I did both our cars since I realized it waives the annual registration fees. He was slightly annoyed and more so made fun of it asking when the car deployed. Since his time at 75th, he's very low-key about stuff. Our elderly neighbor whom we barely see emerged asking who's BSM, and my husband said, "Hers" and took off to check on kids. The neighbor then told me about his time leading a Platoon in high school JROTC...I think I get it now.

No, but I’d probably only consider a campaign medal/GWOT indicator rather than a decoration. Mostly as a hedge against tickets.

I think most civilians have a better understanding of having deployed somewhere than of any decoration below the MOH.

I’d say that’s personal preference, A1. No judgment either way.

Yes. I will gladly take free parking at airports and in cities and free tolls through the state for having a DMSM on my plate

The free tolls are a big plus.

I do. But you know how we are, we like to tease each other. Water off my back.

Meh, do what you wanna do. If you wanna get plates that say you served, then go for it. I personally don't like advertising that I'm a veteran, because I don't want to be approached by some motard whose entire identity was that he served, which might be what your SO feels. But what you do doesn't affect me, so if it makes you happy to get those plates, then I don't see why you shouldn't
