LTC(R) Tellier ’89 Establishes “For the Vets” Nonprofit

Lieutenant Colonel (retired) Jon Tellier, President at JetCo Solutions, has established the nonprofit “For the Vets” to expand their annual donation drive to focus on year-round support of veterans. The nonprofit's mission is clear. For the Vets aims to demonstrate gratitude for retired veterans through community acts of kindness and generosity. This year’s donation drive will aim to provide funds and wish list items to the Grand Rapids Home for Veterans and the D.J. Jacobetti Home for Veterans in Marquette. Both of these organizations host holiday parties for each unit in their building. “COVID-19 has been especially hard on our veterans,” said Sarah Johnson, who is the Volunteer Coordinator at the D.J. Jacobetti Home for Veterans. “The members really look forward to events like these. Celebrations help boost the veterans’ moods, especially during a particularly tough year like 2020.” Read more.
