mission statement of the mvma

---

  Our Mission at the MVMA is to provide an organization for Veterans and their families to share in their love and passion for motorcycles and motorcycle riding, facilitate awareness and interest among veterans and current service members in the hobby of motorcycling, offer a safe and welcoming atmosphere where veterans and current military members, and their families, can find support, guidance, camaraderie, and friendship. The MVMA is a law abiding organization, we are NOT a club or MC, that strives to promote a positive public image of motorcyclists, develop and support positive relationships with Law Enforcement related to veterans, military, motorcycles, and motorcycling while promoting support for Veterans, current Military personnel, members of Law Enforcement, Fire, and Medical Services. 

  To achieve our mission the MVMA participates in activities of a patriotic nature such as: conducting flag ceremonies, retreat ceremonies, conduct ceremonies to honor fallen soldiers, assist with the placement and/or maintenance of military memorials, hold and/or assist with events to honor veterans and/or military members, promote public awareness to the plight of veterans regarding the physical, psychological, and other medical issues veterans and current military members, along with their families, are confronted with, and the hardships they face on a daily basis.  The MVMA conducts fundraising activities to collect monies which are donated to charities which benefit veterans, veteran services, including family services, and/or other military charities, hence the MVMA motto “Helping Vets One Ride at a Time”.
