  Gulf  from  the second day of August, nineteen hundred ninety to the end
  of such hostilities, and were honorably discharged from the military.
    4. A distinctive plate issued pursuant to this section shall be issued

  provided, however, that an additional one time  service  charge  of  ten
  dollars shall be charged for such plate.
    5.  Nothing  contained  herein shall require the issuance of a special
  number plate under this section unless  the  commissioner  is  satisfied
  that  the  aggregate amount of annual service charges collected pursuant
  to subdivision four of this section will be sufficient  to  recover  the
  costs of the design and manufacture of such special plates.
