As their fallen comrade’s sons embarked upon their first day back at school in Ohio, members of the Toledo Police Department showed up in full uniform, and full force, to escort them.
Younes and Maytham Dia, the sons of Toledo Police Officer Anthony Dia, who was killed in the line of duty, did not have to bear their first-day nerves alone. Photos taken on Sept. 8 show the brothers wearing matching thin-blue-line shirts, backpacks, and masks, outside their home, surrounded by protective police officers.
