History

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 and we  now will be able to continue with our main objective which is helping Veterans. The two main things that brought us together were 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 approval 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.  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. This patch is worn by Full Combat Members only.
