The ceremony
TROY, Mich. — VETTED celebrated the grand opening of its Troy office on October 20 with a ribbon cutting hosted by the Troy Chamber of Commerce. Troy Mayor Ethan Baker presented the company with a City of Troy proclamation signed by the Mayor and every member of the Troy City Council.
The proclamation recognizes VETTED’s work helping veterans with personal care, meals, light housekeeping, homemaker and home health aide services, and respite for family caregivers, “allowing veterans to stay in the homes they know and retain their independence.”
“The City of Troy is extremely proud to officially welcome VETTED here,” Mayor Baker told the gathering of Chamber ambassadors, board members and guests, before inviting Founder & President Evan Shelline to the City’s Veterans Day ceremony. Chamber President & CEO Tara Tomcsik opened the ceremony.
Why VETTED exists
Shelline, who served about a decade in the U.S. Navy, including about six years with the SEAL Teams, told the room why he started the company. Both of his grandfathers were Korean War veterans, and when his grandfather passed, the American Legion turned out with about 25 people and a 21-gun salute while Shelline was still on active duty. “That’s what started me,” he said.
He also shared news from the day before: “I’m happy to report that yesterday we got our first Troy veteran.”
