Combat Veteran Motocycle Association thunders into Copper
Article from the Copper Gazette
The Combat
Veteran Motorcycle Association (CVMA) Ca-33-2,a non-profit Association
of
Combat Veterans from all branches of the United States Armed Forces
thundered into Copperopolis on Sunday afternoon (6-24-12) to visit the
Sports Pub and show their support for the newly formed Copperopolis VFW
Post 12118.
Dining on
spaghetti and meatballs served by the Post 12118 Ladies Auxiliary, the
veterans joked, laughed and shared a strong camaraderie almost instantly
with the combat veterans of the Copper VFW Post. The CVMA riders
mirrored the Copperopolis Post members, with combat veterans
representing WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan Wars.
The CVMA
mission is 'to support and defend those who have
defended our country and our freedoms.' On Sunday's ride they held true
to their mission statement, purchasing lunch, making donations and
raising much needed funds for the fledgling Copper VFW Post.
Commander Al Gilbert thanked them for their support, as did most all veterans and supporters present.
Author Charity Maness was on site to autograph copies of her book "It's Lonely Here in Hell" Love Letters from Nam.
