RINGGOLD, Ga. — A Rossville teen who saved his neighbor from a house fire in February was honored this week for his deed.

Dakota Nation’s family, friends, teachers and many others gathered Thursday night at the Brainerd Optimist Club’s Respect for Law program in Ringgold.

“I’m thankful for everyone here,” said Dakota, 13, who will start at Ridgeland High School in the fall. “I will make everybody proud.”
