Vulture joined CVMA in 2015 seeking the brotherhood of fellow veterans and a venue to help other vets; not to mention a great excuse to ride more! Rich retired after a 28 year career as an Army Engineer Officer, deploying to Iraq in 2008, and Afghanistan in 2014-2015 – retiring in 2021. “I volunteered to take on the duties of the 2-1 Treasurer because I’ve spent most of my adult life being a good soldier; and now it’s time to be a good veteran.” Duty, Honor, Country. Rich rides a 2021 Indian Chieftain Dark Horse.
