The state of Utah denied his request because the number 69, aside from meaning a lot of things, brings to mind a certain sex position. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Breitenbach, who served as gunner on an armored Army personnel carrier, says he doesn&#8217;t think everyone has such a dirty mind that they would be offended.<\/p>\n<p>But he lost an appeal in January.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I wonder if he tried using &#8220;CIB-1969&#8221;. I wonder if the state of Utah just skips over their randomly generated combinations that end up with &#8220;69&#8221; in the sequence of numbers, too. I&#8217;d like to remember that year, too. I was 14 years old and got my first hickey from Debbie Austin (who was nine months older than me) that summer, but I guess I won&#8217;t be getting any license plates to commemorate that milestone in my young life.<\/p>\n<p>But I think that the state of Utah is overreacting a bit. I hope they come to their senses in favor of Mr. Breitenbach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of folks have sent the link to this story in the Salt Lake Tribune &hellip; <a title=\"Vietnam Vet denied his vanity license plates\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=59223\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Vietnam Vet denied his vanity license plates<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":59224,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[218],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feel-good-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=59223"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59223\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/59224"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=59223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=59223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=59223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
