  • Chris,I never told you how much of an inspiration you are to me All of the deployments I've been on since 07, I deployed with you. On our work ups & deployment with 2/6, you & I got to spend some good times together both on/off the Gun. I've learned alot from you brother. I will never forget you. You are everything a Marine should want to want to be(THE BEST MARINE I KNOW). Rest in piece my brother, you will never be forgotten. You & your family will always be in my prayers. Semper Fi Marine!!!

  • Kudos to the town of Westwood. This is how EVERY service man should be remembered and honored. At least the jerks from Westboro Baptist Church didn't show. From the looks of the size of this crowd I don't think they would have faired to well.

  • Chris and I grew up on the same block together. He was an awesome guy and a brave marine. No greater love than to lay down your life for your friends. Chris exemplified that to it's fullest meaning. Rest well my friend. Semper fidelis

  • Semper Fi Marine!

  • BobSit Feel sorry for me? dude wake up i said i felt sorry he died in a worthless war

    but looks like you feel sorry for evry one is that all you do look at peoples pages come on .

  • Sad to see Brave SOLDIER DIE in Worthless war caused by GW.BUSH and his crew R.I.P

  • @dreamermex1 I feel sorry for you, one of these days you will wake up to the real world from a retired Navy Corpsman

  • @dreamermex1 You are a complete idiot. Do you actually believe the trash that the media has fed you or are you just stupid.

  • Rest in Peace Brother ! Pro Patria doughboy

  • Only the good die young. RIP Sgt. Semper Fidelis

  • RIP brother. From France

  • RIP my friend.

  • Countries, politicians and religions start wars. All we can do is mourn the loss. Hopefully One day humans will learn to honor and respect each other. To ALL of the families, I am sorry for your loss.

  • @InsaneGoonRules look here fella...im fully aware that we fight for right to say what you want...but seriously come on...thats my brother. he was a good Marine and a good man...he saved my SgtMaj's life before he was killed. please don't sully his name with name calling. we fought for the right reasons. people needed our help and we helped them. they are safe now because of what we did and our replacements are doing.

  • @MickyMarineCorps1232 so sorry for your loss,and you are one of the bravest man I know for replying such a comment to such a person in such circumstances. 

  • @roylanc19 thank you for saying that...i don't know about brave...Chris and Justin were the brave ones...the rest of us were just there with them...none of us has anything to prove to anyone...so there is no reason to get angry at them for being a little challenged...its there right.

  • @InsaneGoonRules fuck yourself go jump off a god damn bridge you asshole

  • @InsaneGoonRules i am an extreme liberal and what u said just now is completely wrong. "Americans are such sheep" smh..

  • Look motherfucker you need to watch what you say about someone who passed away and a Marine who i served with and lost his life to save others in my Battalion, and defended the country your worthless ass lives in today. Karma is a bitch I prey someone finds you on a nice freedom day and punches you right in your piece of shit face. "SUCKER"

  • @InsaneGoonRules I just looked at your page, and it figures..........one of these days you will have a rude wake up call......and you will finally grow up from a retired Navy Corpsman who has spent many years with Marine units

  • very moving, God bless America and all of our soldiers.

  • Glad to see you picked an appropriate screen name for yourself ......Insane(absurd) Goon(stupid,foolish person)

  • Lets have a ceramony for the 1.3 million Iraqi civillians the USA invasion has killed...

    Nice 'Made In China' USA flags you are all waving.

    Mindless idiots. Too proud to say you were WRONG about the war.

  • @InsaneGoonRules uhh... fuck the civies nobody cares bout them

  • Nobody mentioned that Chris Hrbek was a descendant of a CzechoSlovak emigrants in the USA.

    Chris Hrbek is surely one of those just like Rich Marcinko and many others Czecho Slovaks in the US armed forces.

    And that makes us PROUD OF HIM. Let God rest his soul.

  • for those of you that did not know sgt. christoper hrbek he was a great marine a leader and a brother to us that were with him here in afghanistan he was a great man and taught me everything i know it is sad that he had to leave us so early in life but i know that he will not be forgotten may you rest in peace brother i will see you again someday semper fidelis

  • chris we miss you incredibly. i keep saying it over and over, i cannot believe that you are gone. we all thank you for your sacrifice and my heart goes out to your family and to Jamie. (i just saw her the other day:o) ) it still just not feel real, i don't think that it ever will. you had an incredible homecoming parade. i see that even your pups, Guiness and Jersey even got to take part in the end. i love it. R.I.P. my friend. <3

  • Where the fuck do you get the nerve to post that bullshit under the video of a hero who gave his life for his country? As a Fireman myself and someone with some education in terrorism i can tell u that you're very wrong.

  • Ok Mr fireman, let me start by saying this young man was no hero and he sure as hell did not give his life for his country, unless of course his country was israel.

  • @cdimmm your more than welcome to come meet me and tell me this tree hugging bisexual bullshit to my face. fuck you fagget. it can talways be someone elses son, you dont have the balls to put your life on the line for a cause you believe in.

  • I'm waiting.

  • I did not know Sgt Chris Hrbek personally but my friends on the Westwood FD knew him and he was a good guy. He gave his life for his country, whether you believe in the conflicts in Afghanistan/Iraq or not. You must life a pitiful life if you go around and say moronic things about videos of dead marines/FFs.

  • I was born in Westwood, but never met him sadly. I grieve for thee and for the family of this brave man. May he be remembered for defending the peace that we all sadly take for granted and not appreciate sincerely, may we embrace life and cherish the things we hold dear, and our freedom as well. May we remember those who's life have been sacrificed for our freedoms as well. Good night thou good and faithful servant Sgt. Hrbek, may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

  • I never had the honor of meeting Sgt Hrbek, but he was my brother's best friend, and we all feel the loss.

    RIP Sgt. See you on the other side.

  • Rest in Peace brave soldier...

    Thank you for posting this video Schneider68..Very touching to see so many people honor this brave young man.

  • God Bless you and all the armed forces all over the world! Thank You

  • This was a beautiful tribute to a another hero. It shows what the true America is all about. God bless ALL our military and may God Bless all TRUE American's.

  • Semper Fi Chris! Your sacrifice will never be forgotten. God bless you and your family.

  • Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. ~From a headstone in Ireland

  • thats f'n awesome.

  • I come from a Marine Corps family. My dad was a Marine, who lost his battle with cancer this past Christmas Day. My brother-in-laws are Marines and I can say that I am humbled to know that our freedom is paid out with a high price. As Jesus said in John 15:13 "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down ones life for his friends." Thank You to all those who have paid the ultimate price of freedom. Thank You to those who are on duty now, fighting and defending freedom. God Bless You.

  • I'll never forget any of the countless memories I have of you, or anything you taught me. I remember your spirit, and unique style. My favorite memory of you is in Indiana, teaching us boots how to clear rooms back in the day. I'll always regret not being able to pay my respects, but I swear to uphold our tradition, and tell your story to my Marines. We will all remember you Sergeant, rest in peace.

  • Thanks, Chris for your service and dedication to our country. We will always cherish our fond memories. Late night campsite fires and fishing by the pond. Saugerties, NY. RIP Love Barbara & Hank
