Hero’s remains returned

ONLY ON CLIFFVIEW PILOT: The remains of Sgt. Christopher Hrbek of Westwood were returned to Dover Air Force base in a solemn ceremony this weekend — a sober reminder of the supreme sacrifice so many are willing to make for their country.

Hrbek had only one wish for his homecoming: that the streets of Westwood be lined with American flags. The route home for Hrbek, who was killed in Afghanistan on Thursday, will be off the Garden State Parkway and then along Washington Avenue, likely next Wednesday, CLIFFVIEW PILOT has learned.

Everyone in town is expected to fly the Stars and Stripes in honor of the hometown hero. FOR MORE DETAILS, CLICK HERE….
