    Ok Veterans, how many of you have stickers or specialized license plates on your Tacoma showing your pride of service? Here is mine. I served 10 years in the Navy at 3 different duty stations. (NAS Lemoore, NAS Fallon, USS Boxer). Going through it wasn’t that fun but looking back on it now, it was by far the greatest 10 years of my life. Saw several different countries on 2 long deployments. Anyway, wanted to share this with folks and maybe see your pride. Thankyou for all that have served or is currently serving.

    Nice. I really enjoyed my time on the Boxer. I was on there from 2004-2007.

    Yeah, I served. I have a Veterans Tag from the DMV and a small sticker indicating my MOS of 12B. Nothing really special. I would like the Licence plate better, if it were the old style Kamehameha head. I've never really cared for the rainbow.

    I had 26 years of active duty time - retired 1 Jan 2004. Waiting for my personalized plate to arrive - ordered it back in February and it obviously got held up by the pandemic. Hopefully it will get here soon. I'm in PA and went with the Soldier's Medal awardee plate - ODIE6 will be the number for my Army Green Tacoma Pro. In the meantime, I have this on my rear window.

    My 1st deployment was on the Boxer in December of 98.

    Edited to add that my 2nd deployment was on the Tarawa and that was definitely a downgrade from the Boxer.
