Original Message
A former Marine and father of two decided to help ease his daughter's fears after the tragic school shooting in Connecticut late last week by standing guard outside her west Nashville school.
Jordan Pritchard served eight years in the Marine Corps and was honorably discharged last May.
Over the weekend, Pritchard said his daughter told him she was scared to return to school following the Connecticut tragedy. Â
"As a dad, I can't have that. I can't have my daughter come to school worried about somebody coming in and hurting her," Pritchard said.
He added, "To settle her peace of mind, who better than her dad to come out here and stand in front of the school?"
Pritchard told Nashville's News 2 he dusted off his Marine Corps uniform and has been standing guard in front of the school since Monday.
