In June 2011, ten members of CVMA® Chapter 33-1 came together to establish a new chapter serving the Inland Empire. With the support of 33-1, Chapter 33-3 held its first meeting at American Legion Post 262 in Fontana, where Dustin "Staubi" Watson was elected the chapter's first Commander.

 

From those original ten members, Triple 3 began building a chapter centered on camaraderie, riding, supporting fellow veterans, and giving back to the veteran community. Over the years, the chapter has grown, faced challenges, and continued moving forward while remaining connected to the purpose that brought those first members together.

In 2015, the chapter suffered a great loss with the passing of Vietnam Veteran Anthony Gregorio Jr. His passing led to new traditions focused on looking after one another and inspired the annual Ride for Tony, honoring his memory at Riverside National Cemetery.

And somewhere along the way, we became the Hooligans. After an older woman spotted several members in their CVMA vests and told her husband to hurry inside before "those hooligans" arrived, the name stuck. What started with ten veterans in 2011 continues today as CVMA® Chapter 33-3, the Triple 3 Hooligans.
