You have found the web site for the Colorado Chapters of the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association.
We (CVMA) are a group of combat veterans with the common bond of riding motorcycles. The CVMA is NOT a 'Motorcycle Club." Our mission is 'Veterans Helping Veterans,' regardless of race, color, religion, or sex. The Southern Colorado Chapter of the CVMA is proud to be a part of this national organization.
In May of 2001, a group of 45 motorcycle riders who are veterans of various United States military organizations and served in combat zones or combat theaters formed a veterans motorcycle association. Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association was created as a non-profit organization. With our headquarters in Arkansas, we have chapters in a growing number of states. We hope that promoting interests in CVMA activities will result in the betterment of communication and camaraderie between other Armed Service Veterans organizations and motorcycle groups. The CVMA wishes to raise awareness for the plight of POW's, MIA's, Veterans returning from combat theaters, and their families.
