The CVMA emblem, the skull and spade, is symbolic in color and design. Red represents the blood that has been shed on the battlefield. The Military Gold represents the many ethnic backgrounds of all nations. Black represents the heavy hearts possessed for those who gave their lives and for those that are considered missing in action or prisoners of war. The skull and ace of spades represent the death that war leaves in its wake.
Our mission is to help veterans either at facilities or to help individual veterans in need.
Definition of a Veteran :
A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in his, or her, life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America," for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
