The Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association (CVMA) is an association of veterans from all branches of the United States Armed Forces who ride motorcycles. The CVMA mission is to support and defend those who have defended their country and their freedoms. The focus of the CVMA is to help Veteran care facilities provide a warm meal, clothing, shelter, and guidance, or simply to say "thank you" and "welcome home."
