Our CVMA patch has a very significant meaning to all our members: 

Red, represents the blood that has been shed on the battlefield.

Military Gold represents all branches of the military service of the United States. 

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 Spade represents the death that war leaves in its wake and a debt that can never be repaid.
