The CVMA's mission is to maintain public awareness of veteran issues and to remember our brothers and sisters who have fallen, have been taken prisoner or are missing in action while serving their country during an armed conflict. We welcome all combat veterans who honorably served in the Armed Forces during Korea, Vietnam, Kosovo, Panama, Somalia, Desert Storm, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq or any other combat theater. We hope this website will provide information as to who we are and what we do to help the people who visit here.

We are a non-profit charitable  Association of Combat Veterans from all branches  of the Untied States Armed Forces who ride motorcycles as a hobby. Our focus is to help veteran care facilities provide a warm meal, clothing, shelter and guidance or to just simply say " Thank you" or "Welcome Home".

We are a non-profit charitable  Association of Combat Veterans from all branches  of the Untied States Armed Forces who ride motorcycles as a hobby. Our focus is to help veteran care facilities provide a warm meal, clothing, shelter and guidance or to just simply say " Thank you" or "Welcome Home".

Our membership is comprised of Full Members ( those with verified combat service) and Supporter Members ( those who have non-combat military service and have a sincere dedication to helping veterans). We have members in all fifty states and are living aboard. Many of whom continue to serve our country.

In the year 1999, the Combat Vet Motorcycle Club was introduced to the internet.Up until the first part of 2001 many of us were led to believe it was a true and established motorcycle organization. Through many turn of events it was found out that CVMA was an internet scam to take money from Combat Veterans. In the early months of 2001 many of the members found this scam out and alerted one another. Since we are all interested in the issues of Veterans, 45 members decided to form a Combat Vet Association. 

The two main things that brought us together was motorcycle riding and being veterans from Combat zones or theaters. The original 45 members have adopted a patch to wear indicating  that they are the founding fathers of CVMA . May of 2001 the CVMA adopted the CVMA/VFW patch. This was done with the VFW's ok as all CVMA were or became VFW members and entitled to wear the VFW patch. Over the next year and a half the CVMA was well accepted at Post and Division levels with the VFW. many meetings, conversations and letters over this period  with the VFW National always sounded positive but with no results of developing a relationship. 

In December 2002 the CVMA membership voted to move on towards the Association it wanted to be. On December 15, 2002 it was voted the CVMA  would wear the old skull logo as a one piece patch. Membership requirements are  that a new member has to be a Combat Veteran and ride a motorcycle as a hobby. This patch is worn by all Full Combat Members only.
