National CVMA
We are a non-profit association, non-territorial, and have no affiliation with any club. We all share the common bond of being Combat Veterans of many conflicts and wars who also ride motorcycles. CVMA is an organization where Combat Veterans can come together to continue the Comraderie and Brotherhood we shared during our Military Service. We assist Veterans in any way we can. We require that you have an Honorable Discharge, and can verify proof of your Combat Service via your DD214. If still on Active Duty, you can verify your Combat service using your ERB or similar document, and orders for Combat Awards. The National CVMA Headquarters is in Missouri, with chapters in several states. ALL Branches are welcome. For more information visit our National Combat Veterans Assn. website, National CVMA History, and National By-Laws.
