Iowa Governor Chet Culver signed three bills into law during a stop in Sioux City today. All three bills involved state military veterans. The first would provide up to 500 dollars for Vietnam era veterans who served from 1973 to 1975, the second would allow active duty Iowans the ability to purchase a special military license plate, and the third would allow family members of soldiers who’ve lost their lives in the military to purchase a "Gold Star" license plate. Fifty-six Iowans have lost their lives in the military action since September 11th 2001.
