Important questions...

indeed...

I think back to special military award license plates I've seen. Purple Heart. Legion of Merit. Distinguished Flying Cross. Bronze Star. Every so often even a Silver Star. Or the other type that's not an award - Gold Star Spouse.

The other day I saw a Meritorious Service Medal plate. Say what? The Navy handed me one of those at one point and I'm still puzzled why. Apparently MSM are traditionally issued to folks who do a good job and show a good attitude but by luck of the draw end up all peace zone service. Showing up is important - Tons of people never petition or never enlist and plenty of those who do either flake out. Lots show up but never get ordered into a war zone.

But, on a license plate? If "everyone gets a medal" the MSM and Good Conduct are the ones they get.

An MSM is a show up award? Not in my experience. A NAM, yes. Maybe even a Comm.
