I am thankful that young 5-year-old boy Dakota Pitts was gets escorted by nearly 70 police officers on his first day of school after his dad, Terre Haute Police officer Rob Pitts died in the line of duty a week earlier in Sullivan, Indiana.

SULLIVAN, Ind. (WTHI) - Dakota Pitts, 5, keeps his father's memory right next to his heart, by wearing his police badge. His father's friends are making sure it stays there.
"I was super duper surprised and I loved it," Dakota explained.
He was talking about a surprise escort he received. He'd asked his mother if one of his dad's friends could take him to school this week.
His dad, Terre Haute Police officer Rob Pitts had died a week earlier in the line of duty. So, his mother, Josie Huff asked, and police responded.
"I think he was in shock and surprised at all the people that came," Huff said.
Nearly 70 local law enforcement officers in total showed up. They lined the school as he went in. It was more than a gesture for this five-year-old.
When he got inside, he told his teacher he "felt great."

SEA OF BLUE: 70 police officers escorted 5-year-old Dakota Pitts to his first day back to school after his dad, Rob, a 16-year veteran of the Terre Haute Police Department, was killed in the line of duty.
