 25-year-old Christopher Hrbek was a 2002 graduate of Westwood Regional Jr./Sr. High School and a nine-year member of the Westwood Fire Department. He deployed to Afghanistan in November, just before President Obama officially announced the surge. He was due to receive a bronze star with valor. Two days before Christmas, Hrbek braved intense gunfire to save the life of a Marine sergeant major who lost both legs in an IED explosion. The man’s legs were immediately blown off and Hrbek acted quickly along with a Navy Corpsman who was with him at the time. Together, they applied tourniquets to stop the bleeding, removed him from enemy fire and got him to an airlift so that he could receive medical attention. jan 15, 2010 |
