The Director of the Military Affairs Council in Junction City, John Seitz is calling for a specialty Kansas license plate with a Big Red One patch on it.

He has asked State Representative Lonnie Clark and State Senator Jeff Longbine to sponsor this legislation. “To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Big Red One ( 1st Infantry Division ) in 2017 Kansas should have a license plate with a Big Red One patch on it, and say 100th anniversary. Other states have division license plates. Kansas is home to the Big Red One. Why shouldn’t we have one?”

Motorists could buy the specialty plate if the legislation is approved.
