Mission statement
Our Mission in the CVMA is pure and simple: veterans helping veterans. We are not a club, we do not function like a club, or pretend to be a club. All that we want to accomplish is to assemble peacefully, ride our motorcycles, and continue to support our fellow veterans, their families, and support the ones still serving. We pride ourselves on being a select few men and women who have stepped up for their nation and served in combat, WITHOUT HESITATION. We bother no one and would like that in return. Thank you to all who have served and those who support our nations armed forces. Welcome home!
HISTORY OF PA 22 - 4
CVMA 22-4 was chartered in central Pennsylvania in May 2010 of the "ORIGINAL 14", these members where originally with chapter 22-1 chartered near the Lewisburg area. It was decided that the James E. VanZandt VAMC would be the anchor point and we would cover surrounding counties. The "ORIGINAL 14" worked diligently to grow our chapter, and do great things in our own community to help and assist VETERANS.
We now cover over 7 counties in central Pennsylvania. We continue to grow and help our fellow veterans. Some of our activities include: Volunteering at James E. Van Zandt VAMC, Volunteering at the VA Home in Hollidaysburg; assisting in constructing handicap access for wounded vets homes; donating money to help disabled veterans medical expenses; providing donations of mens clothing and money for the Homeless Veteran shelter's in our region. We are a 501 c (19) non-profit organization, all donations are tax deductible and receipts available upon request.

DISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF CLOTHING OR CLUB MEMBERSHIP IS ILLEGAL
Any person whose exercise or enjoyment of rights secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States has been interfered with, or attempted to be interfered with may institute and prosecute a civil action for injunctions and other appropriate equitable relief including the award of compensatory monetary damages. The Supreme Court ruled in the case of Cohen vs. California, 403 U.S.15 (1971) that individuals have the constitutional right under the First Amendment to wear clothing which displays writings or designs. In addition, the right of an individual to freedom of association has long been recognized and protected by the United States Supreme Court. Thus, a person's right to wear the clothing of his choice, as well as his right to belong to any club or organization of his choice is constitutionally protected, and persons or establishments who discriminate on the basis of clothing or club memberships are subject to lawsuit.
