SOUTHPORT, Ind. — Southport police officers and families joined Lieutenant Aaron Allan's son for his first day of 2nd grade. 

Officer Allan took his last photo with his son on Aaron Junior's first day of kindergarten. Later that day, Allan tried to rescue a driver involved in a crash and that driver shot and killed him.

Every year since, a group of officers give Aaron Junior a big send-off for the first day of school. In response, Aaron's wife Stacy created the "First Day Hero" program. She encourages families to be present on their kids first day of school and take a photo to show their love.
