He said, 'Grandpa, a lot of people have blood and everything. But I work through that. I don't think about that. If I get squeamish, I fail them,' and it was all about them.
— Bob Pinion, on his grandson's job as a medical technician

Eischen's brother Drew, an Iraq veteran, who also goes by the name Joey, described his brother as "A sweet loving person, that anyone who came across him loved him."
Less than four months after burying his brother and being discharged from the Army, Clovis Police responded to a 911 call for an "attempted suicide" and an ambulance took Drew "Joey" Eischen to Community Regional Medical Center where he died less than two hours later.
Don't forget those that have not survived their homecoming.
