JOHNSON CITY (July 13, 2021) —Veterans, families of military affiliated students and
other guests of the East Tennessee State University Veterans Affairs can travel around
the Johnson City campus with greater ease, thanks to Greeneville-based TEVET, the
company that recently donated $15,000 to Veterans Affairs for the purchase a golf
cart to do just that.
“The golf cart has provided us with the ability to be more inclusive to our population
of disabled veterans,” said Curtis Clontz, assistant director of ETSU Veterans Affairs.
“It has undoubtedly made an impact at each orientation, open house, and in our day-to-day
operations. Each day our team strives to provide the best possible atmosphere for
all veterans, and with the help of TEVET, we can continue doing so.”
TEVET is a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business within the aerospace and defense industry, founded in 2004, that supports local and national programs affiliated with the military veteran community.
“As a service-disabled, veteran-owned business, a main cornerstone to our culture
is supporting veterans in a variety of ways – from employment opportunities to supporting
veteran organizations, like our local DAV chapter,” said Tracy Solomon, TEVET CEO
and president. “Providing the golf cart to ETSU Veteran Affairs was another opportunity
to pay our respect and gratitude forward to our fellow veterans. We’re glad that it
is being well-utilized and will continue to make a difference for those veterans and
their families visiting the ETSU campus.”
