Our Mission
   Grateful Citizens for the Appreciation of Veterans expresses its appreciation by helping out the families of men and women who are currently serving in Afghanistan, Iraq and any other arena of conflict. We provide services to assist spouses by helping out with household tasks such as lawn care, snow removal and handyman services.

Currently, we are focusing on spring cleanup. The area we service is within a 15 mile radius of Springfield, Massachusetts.

Additionally, we feel that our troops deserve the thanks and support of all citizens. In times of war, we support our troups 100 percent and oppose any person or group that would attempt to subvert our country's efforts, hinder the progress of our mission, put our troops at risk or aid and abet our enemies.
