Today, Westwood welcomed home a son, a Firefighter, a Marine and a Fallen Hero.

Sgt. Christopher Hrbek was killed by an IED a week ago today, during his fourth tour of duty in harm's way.

Thousands turned out to honor his sacrifice and his life, and to grant his wish of coming home to see Westwood Ave decorated with the flag he defended.

Words can't begin to describe the day. Hopefully these photos capture the awesome show of respect our community offered our young Marine.

Rest in Peace and Honor.
