[QUOTE="Navy_chief, post: 1883583, member: 24430"] Guys and Gals, They finally approved it goes into effect Nov 1st. [url]http://www.krmg.com/news/news/local/oklahoma-unveils-new-system-drivers-licenses/nRKPt/[/url] [url]http://www.oksenate.gov/news/press_releases/press_releases_2012/pr20120514b.html[/url] Subject: Veterans to receive special OK driver's licenses Veterans to receive special OK driver's licenses To Oklahoma Service Organizations: (from an E-mail message) Per the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety, the pilot test on Oklahoma Driver's License bearing Veterans Identification went extremely well last week. The Department did a pilot test in Edmond. The first and foremost issue is that veterans did not know it was happening, so did not bring their veteran status verification with them. Some however came back to be able to acquire the ID. The official start is 1 November for statewide distribution. We will need your assistance in sharing that information with as many veterans as we can reach so that they DON'T HAVE TO MAKE TWO TRIPS to get their license. The DPS and I are planning a press release, but we also need some additional help to reach all veterans. The Atkinson Public Relations Firm has volunteered their expertise to help us with a Public Service Campaign to prepare our veterans who would like to access their new ability. I also want to ask for your assistance to help us share with all our veterans that as these verifications of veterans comes on line that we hit EVERY BUSINESS and EVERY SERVICE in the state to ask them to provide a discount or service to any veteran that can, with validity, prove they are a veteran. We at ODVA, as well as, VeteranCentral.com, have offered to post those participating businesses that are VETERAN FRIENDLY on our website. You know the old saying, if "you support us, we will come". I would welcome any and all efforts to notify all veterans in the state of this great new opportunity and encourage them to ask all businesses in the state to show their VETERAN FRIENDLY status.
