In a touching gesture of support, Tennessee police officers stood shoulder to shoulder with a 5-year old boy whose father had recently died in the line of duty.
Kevin Stolinsky was a 20-year veteran in La Vergne, where he suffered a medical emergency last November. His funeral was a big success.
His daughter, Anna, started kindergarten this year, with some help from her dad’s fellow officers, who escorted her into school.
“It was a very, very special day. All those officers who came out to support the memory of my husband,”Casey Stolinsky stated.
As she made her way down the line she gave high fives to each officer. After receiving a hug from mom and grandma, it was time for her to go into school.
For little Anna, the sendoff was as beautiful and touching as it was.
“That made me start to cry. I was sad. That reminded me of my dad and was feeling like I never get to see him,”Anna said.
