BILL NUMBER:S1902A
Purpose or general idea of bill
Provides for issuance of distinctive plates to "Catholic War Veterans of America."
Summary of provisions
Amends the vehicle and traffic law by adding a new section 404-x provid- ing a distinctive plate to members of the Catholic War Veterans of Amer- ica.
Justification
First incorporated under the laws of the State of New York in 1935, Catholic War Veterans of the United States of America has been recog- nized by the Veterans Administration since 1940. Their mission is one of service and education; they strive to help veterans and their families, and to help promote national awareness of the unique problems and needs of many veterans and their surviving family members. Catholic War Veter- ans are justifiably proud of their participation in combat and should have the opportunity, like countless others who have served our country, to demonstrate that pride. Many other veterans' organizations are currently recognized with their own distinctive plates. They include:
* American Legion * Jewish War Veterans of America * Korean War Veterans * Marine Corps Reserve * Marine Corps League * Navy Reserve * Veterans of Foreign Wars * Vietnam Veterans * Veterans of World War II
The issuance of distinctive license plates is a small but important way to recognize the contributions of the Catholic War Veterans in conflicts large and small, as well as their service to their fellow veterans in war and peace.
