Well folks, they've done it again! Our friends at Greater Pitt Tree Service have stepped up to help another member of our greatest generation, and they're doing it for free.

Watch the video on this page to see my business partner and Get Marty Executive Producer, Patrick O'Connor, as he meets WWII veteran Leo Clougherty and finds out why GPTS is helping him out.

Leo served in the U.S. Army during World War II and remained stateside during the conflict, but knows the horrors of war from the losses to his family. He and his three brothers served, two of which were killed in combat overseas. Leo is now 96 years old and has lived in his Forest Hills home for nearly 65 years.

Bill Haines is one of the owners of Greater Pitt Tree Service. He and his business partner Carlos McClintock take huge pride in their work and say it's part of their duty to honor Leo and other WWII veterans by doing work for them free of charge.
