DES MOINES, Iowa — A new Iowa license plate will honor military personnel killed in combat.

The license plate was approved by the Legislature this year, and state officials began reviewing possible designs on Thursday.

The plates will be available to family members of anyone how has died during a war, from World War II to the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The cost will be the same as a regular license plate.

The plates should be available by the end of year.

Pat Palmersheim, director of the Iowa Department of Veterans Affairs, said more than 10,000 Iowa families are eligible.
