Vietnam veterans in Kansas are still waiting for the state to issue special license plates to honor them.

The plates were supposed to be available on Jan. 1, under a law passed by the 2010 Kansas Legislature.

Jeannine Koranda, spokeswoman for the state revenue department, says the plate design wasn’t final until recently. And after 50 plates were distributed earlier this month, officials discovered that they did not have the sequential numbers required by law enforcement.
