The Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association (CVMA) began as an idea in early 2001.  45 Veterans who shared combat experience and enjoyed riding motorcycles decided to form an organization devoted to helping veterans.  The CVMA® first appeared officially as a non-profit organization around 1 May 2001.  We continue to focus on our primary mission of Helping Veterans while we continue to source membership from combat veterans who ride motorcycles.

 

Arizona’s first CVMA Chapter took root in 2006 with a few veterans residing in the Phoenix area.  Jeff Moore was elected as the first Arizona State Representative for CVMA and Arizona became the 32nd state recognized to stand up a chapter by the National CVMA Board.
