Who we are

---

   Driven by the unity of Combat Veterans, Veterans, and Patriotic Americans, we dedicate ourselves to uplifting our heroes beyond their service. Our organization focuses on building a supportive network, organizing impactful events, and advocating for Veteran welfare. 

 At Combat American Patriots, our mission is fueled by the generosity of patriotic Americans who share our dedication to supporting Veterans in their post-service life. This support enables us to provide charitable assistance to needy Veterans, family members and current members / donors of CAP, as well as support other non-profit organizations. CAP will support Veterans throughout Citrus and bordering counties as we bring our vision alive.  We will educate the community on issues of Veteran homelessness and bring awareness of Veteran Suicide.

   Combat American Patriots fosters a nurturing and supportive environment that honors the bravery and sacrifices of our Veterans. We aim to create a space where the bonds formed in service continue to thrive, offering support, recognition, and a sense of belonging. 

 Through quarterly events, we actively raise funds and awareness to address the diverse needs of our Veterans, fostering a spirit of brotherhood and unity within our community. We believe in translating our collective appreciation into tangible actions, creating a lasting impact on the lives of those who have selflessly served our nation. Together, we march forward, embodying the principles of honor, compassion, and camaraderie that define us as Combat American Patriots.

Combat American Patriots welcomes all who share our respect and admiration for Veterans. Whether you are a Veteran, military spouse, or a patriotic citizen, your contribution to our cause is invaluable. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of those who have bravely served our nation.

 One of the vehicles some of our members use in the execution of this mission is riding motorcycles and participating in motorcycle events and fundraisers.  Together, we use this passion to fulfill our patriotic purpose; however, it is just one of our vehicles. We are not a motorcycle club, and we welcome motorcycle riders, non-riders.  We welcome Veterans and patriotic Americans.  There are many ways to join in and future events planned both on and off two wheels.  Please check out our events to learn more, and feel free to contact us.

Together, we stand united as Combat American Patriots, honoring and supporting our nation’s heroes.
