Welcome to Rhode Island's Chapter of the Combat Veteran's Motorcycle Association (CVMA). We are Veterans who help Veterans! We cover an area to include, but not limited to, the cities and towns within the Rhode Island border. Our directives are: 1. To raise awareness of Veteran suicides and PTSD, and to assist any Veteran and his family who may be at risk of succumbing to these issues. 2. To create and maintain camaraderie among Combat Veterans from all U.S. Branches of Service and its allies. 3. To raise awareness of the plight of POWs, MIAs, and their families. 4. To conduct Association functions and activities in a manner befitting the members of the CVMA, as well as the association's Auxiliary Members. 5. To encourage a better understanding of motorcycle riders as a constructive sport among members of the public, press, and law enforcement agencies.
