History of the Combat Veterans Motorcycle
Association.
 |
In the year 1999, the Combat Vets 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 turns of events it was found out that CVMC was an internet scam
to milk money from Combat Veterans. In the early months of 2001 many of the
members found this scam out & alerted one another. Since we were all
interested in the issues of Veterans, 45 members decided to form a Combat
Veterans Association. After this was decided, the birth of CVMA appeared as
a non profit Association on or about May 1st 2001 & we now will be able to
continue with our main objective which is helping Veterans. The 2 main
things that brought us together was motorcycle riding & being Veterans from
Combat zones or theaters. The original 45 members have adopted a patch to
wear indicating that they are the original founding fathers of CVMA. |

In May of 2001 the CVMA adopted the CVMA/VFW patch. This
was done with the VFW's ok as all CVMA members 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.
Copy of one letter.
In December 2002 the CVMA membership voted to move on towards the
Association it wanted to be. Along with this VFW membership was no longer
required opening the CVMA up to all Combat Veterans who ride a motorcycle.
|
| On December 15, 2002 it was voted the CVMA would wear a
combination of the CVMA background and the old skull logo as a one piece
patch. Membership requirements being a new member had to be a Combat Veteran
and ride a motorcycle as a hobby. This patch is worn by Full Combat Members
only. |
