We are an Association of Combat Veterans from all branches of the United States Armed Forces who ride motorcycles as a hobby. As a registered 501(c)(19) veterans’ charity, our mission is to support and protect those who have defended our country and our freedoms. Our focus is to provide assistance and help to individual veterans, veteran care facilities, other veteran organizations and registered charities. We sponsor and participate in many veteran-related motorcycle (and other) charity events each year, and as a non-profit organization, donate to various veteran causes. Our membership is comprised of Full Members (those with verified combat service), Supporter Members (those who have non-combat military service and have a strong dedication to helping veterans), and Auxiliary Members (Spouses of both Full and Support members). Please note that we are an ASSOCIATION and NOT a MOTORCYCLE CLUB (MC). Although we may be in a geographic area, we do not claim territory. We do not have a club house. We do not wear cuts or colors, but rather vests. The patch on our back is one piece. The Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association (CVMA) has a core mission of supporting and defending those who have served in the military and protected the freedoms of the United States. Their focus is on assisting veteran care facilities, providing essentials like food and clothing, and offering a warm welcome home to those returning from service. The CVMA embodies the motto "Veterans Helping Veterans". The CVMA provides practical support to veterans through various means, including donations to veteran care facilities, assistance with basic needs like food and clothing, and raising funds for veterans with medical or other needs.
