Honoring Our Heroes This Memorial Day: Free DMV Services for San Diego Military Community

Introduction – What Memorial Day Means

Memorial Day, observed on the last Monday of May, is a solemn national holiday dedicated to the U.S. service members who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. While it often marks the unofficial start of summer, it’s first and foremost a day to pause, reflect, and express gratitude for those who gave everything. In a city with one of the nation’s largest military populations, San Diego comes together each year to honor both our fallen heroes and the living veterans, active-duty personnel, and military families who continue to serve.


Why We Honor Our Heroes

  • Remembrance: Memorial Day keeps our fallen service members’ legacy alive.

  • Community: Veterans, active-duty personnel, and their families are integral to San Diego’s identity.

  • Support: Offering practical help—like free DMV services—turns appreciation into meaningful action.


DMV Support for the Military: Know Your Year-Round Benefits

California already provides several DMV-related advantages for military members and veterans:

  • Exemption from certain registration fees

  • Waivers for late penalties in special circumstances

  • Non-resident military registration privileges

  • “Veteran” designation on driver licenses and ID cards

  • Special plates (Veteran, Purple Heart, Disabled Veteran, etc.)

Unfortunately, these benefits can be complex to navigate, and long DMV lines don’t fit busy military schedules. That’s where Tags Clinic steps in.
