Bill	AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 21 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO VETERAN DESIGNATION ON DRIVER LICENSES.	This Act replaces the phrase "United States Armed Forces or of the National Guard" with "uniformed services of the United States," and defines "uniformed services of the United States" as meaning any of the 8 of the United States service branches and the National Guard. Usage of "Armed Forces" or "military" is often misunderstood to mean only the United States Army, United States Marine Corps, United States Navy, United States Air Force, United States Space Force, and United States Coast Guard. Using "uniformed services of the United States" more accurately includes the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corp. This Act makes clear that veterans all 8 services branches are qualified to obtain veteran designation on their driver licenses.	us/states/de	Delaware General Assembly	153	SB 76	Delaware SB 76 (153)	bill		enacted	Brian Pettyjohn Bryant L.
