serious injury in combat, accompanied by a fee of $20 which
shall be in addition to the annual registration fee and by such
documentation as the department shall require, the department
shall issue to the person a special registration plate

designating the vehicle as belonging to a person who is a
retired veteran of the armed forces of the United States. The
department shall design and produce the special registration
plate. The special registration plate may be used only on a
passenger car or truck with a registered gross weight of not
more than 14,000 pounds.

(b)  Documentation required.--An applicant for a retired
veteran plate shall be required to produce to the department a
federally issued military identification card denoting retired
