About Us

Chapter 29-2 is based in Lane County, Oregon, and mainly operates in Eugene, Springfield and surrounding areas. We have events such as the annual poker run, fundraisers, destination rides and chapter meetings.

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 non profit 501(c)(3) veterans’ charity, our mission is to support and protect those who have defended our country and our freedoms.

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.

Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association® is a world-wide non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and advocating for combat Veterans who share a passion for motorcycles. We do not claim territory, have a clubhouse, or wear cuts or colors, but rather vests with a one-piece patch on the back. Our mission is to provide a strong support network for combat Veterans and their families.

Redmond 29-8

MY VEST IS FULL OF PATCHES BOTH OLD AND NEW,
REPRESENTING THE PLACES I'VE BEEN AND THE THINGS I DO.

MOST ON THE FRONT AND LAYERED IN A STACK,
BUT NONE SAY MORE THAN THE PATCH ON MY BACK.

I EARNED IT IN BATTLE AS A COMBAT VET,
IT SERVES AS A CONSTANT REMINDER TO NEVER FORGET.

THE FIRST THING YOU'LL NOTICE IS THE SKULL AND SPADE,
A REMINDER THAT THE DEBT OF WAR IS NEVER PAID.

EVERY COLOR HAS A MEANING AND A STORY TO TELL,
AND EVERY STORY HAS A MEANING WE KNOW ALL TOO WELL.

TO SHOW UNITY AS WARRIORS WE USE THE MILITARY GOLD,
FOR EVERY BRANCH OF SERVICE BOTH NEW AND OLD.

RED REPRESENTS THE BLOOD THAT MY BROTHERS HAVE BLED,
NOT ALL KNOWN BY ME, BUT A TEAR FOR EACH I'VE SHED.

WITH HEAVY HEARTS WE DISPLAY THE SYMBOLIC COLOR BLACK,
FOR THE MISSING, THE PRISONERS AND THOSE WHO NEVER MADE IT BACK.

YES, I KNOW IT'S JUST A PATCH - MADE OF CLOTH AND THREAD,
BUT BECAUSE OF WHAT IT MEANS I'LL RESPECT IT UNTIL THE DAY I'M DEAD!
