Riding for a cause: A mission to S.A.V.E. our Veterans

Article Title: Riding for a cause: A mission to S.A.V.E. our Veterans

Article Excerpt: "...For 12 consecutive years, the New Mexico American Legion Riders (ALR) have revved their engines for a cause that resonates deeply within their community: raising awareness about Veteran suicide. Their annual “Be the One” New Mexico S.A.V.E. Run is not just a motorcycle ride, it’s a powerful movement that bonds riders, Veterans and supporters alike in the fight against mental health struggles. ...If you’re a Veteran in crisis or concerned about one, contact the Veterans Crisis Line to receive 24/7 confidential support. You don’t have to be enrolled in VA benefits or health care to connect. To reach responders, dial 988 then Press 1, chat online at VeteransCrisisLine.net/Chat, or text 838255."

Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association®

Article Title: Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association®

Article Excerpt: "...an Association of Combat Veterans from all branches of the United States Armed Forces who ride motorcycles as a hobby. As a registered 501(c)(19) veterans’ charity, our mission is to support and protect those who have defended our country and our freedoms. Our focus is to provide assistance and help to individual veterans, veteran care facilities, other veteran organizations and registered charities. We sponsor and participate in many veteran-related motorcycle (and other) charity events each year, and as a non-profit organization, donate to various veteran causes.

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.

Please note that we are an ASSOCIATION and NOT a MOTORCYCLE CLUB (MC). Although we may be in a geographic area, we do not claim territory. We do not have a club house. The patch on our back is one piece. ...BECOME A MEMBER"
