We are an Association of Combat Veterans from all branches of the United States Armed Forces who ride motorcycles as a hobby. As a registered 501(c)(19) veterans’ charity, our mission is to support and protect those who have defended our country and our freedoms. Our focus is to provide assistance and help to individual veterans, veteran care facilities, other veteran organizations and registered charities. We sponsor and participate in many veteran-related motorcycle (and other) charity events each year, and as a non-profit organization, donate to various veteran causes.
Our membership is comprised of Full Members (those with verified combat service), Supporter Members (those who have non-combat military service and have a strong dedication to helping veterans), and Auxiliary Members (Spouses of both Full and Support members). We have members from all 50 states and numerous countries abroad, including combat areas.
Please note that we are an ASSOCIATION and NOT a MOTORCYCLE CLUB (MC). Although we may be in a geographic area, we do not claim territory. We do not have a club house. We do not wear cuts or colors, but rather vests. The patch on our back is one piece.
ABOUT CVMA® 2-3
CVMA® 2-3 is based in the greater Springfield area of Massachusetts but active members and activities span Hampden, Hampshire, Franklin and Berkshire counties. 2-3 has taken the name of “America’s First Armory Chapter” to honor the Springfield Armory, a piece of U.S. history that dates back to the founding of our nation. Our chapter meets monthly and updates regarding meetings, rides and gatherings can be found on our events page. We hope that you will join us for one of our meetings or rides!
