In this photo from November 2012, Ohio Army National Guard Capt. Chris Brandt with his daughters, Katy (left, now 15) and Riley (now 12). Katy is heavily involved in her dance school and Riley plays basketball. The two girls were also recently nominated by their peers to serve as suicide interventionists under the program Hope Squad. “If I have anything to do with it (their selection for Hope Squad), it’s just because they see those same leadership qualities in my job and the amount of work that you put into making good, ethical, morally-correct decisions and understanding the impact of them,” Brandt said.
