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\u00ae 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\u00ae<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May of 2001, the CVMA\u00ae adopted the CVMA\u00ae\/VFW patch. This was done with the VFW\u2019s approval as all CVMA\u00ae members were or became VFW members and entitled to wear the VFW patch. Over the next year and a half the CVMA\u00ae 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\u00ae membership voted to move on towards the Association it wanted to be. Along with this, VFW membership was no longer required opening the CVMA\u00ae up to all Combat Veterans who ride a motorcycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On December 15, 2002 it was voted the CVMA\u00ae would wear a combination of the CVMA\u00ae background and the old skull logo as a one piece patch. This patch is worn by Full Combat Members only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASIA Chapter stared in 2015 when their Combat Members were throughout ASIA and no group representation was available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
