GOWRIE, Iowa (KCCI) — Jamie Buenting wasn’t able to be there Sunday when his daughter, Kalie, walked across the stage at the commencement ceremony for Southeast Valley High School in Gowrie.

Instead, a group of his brothers in blue lined up at the end of the stage to hug Kalie after she picked up her diploma, a special moment of pride for them and an emotional recognition of her late father.

Jamie Buenting, a Rockwell City police officer, was killed in the line of duty on Sept. 13, 2013, leaving behind a wife and two children.
