| Clayton Merle Rollins Jr |
|
|
| was also known as "Miguel Martinez" or "Mike" as his alias |
We finally fulfilled "Mike" Rollins' last wishes
| The Monument of the Cross in Bataan |
|
|
| This commemorates those who sufferedin the "Death March" |
The PROBE TEAM , a respected TV show helped us fulfill Mike's last wishes ....but the problem was we couldn't
decide where tin Bataan should the ashes be scattered....
First, the urn containing his ashes, which was sent to me in
1981,had to be opened at the Loyola Crematorium
|
|
| The metal urn was airtight |
Until a cross fell from the ashes when the old urn was opened, and it landed on my toe.
| This is the small cross that fell from the ashes |
|
| Probably telling us where to scatter the ashes |
|
WITH CHARITY
FOR ALL; WITH FIRMNESS IN THE RIGHT,
AS GOD GIVES US TO SEE THE RIGHT,
LET US STRIVE ON TO FINISH THE WORK WE ARE IN;
TO BIND UP THE NATION'S WOUNDS;
TO CARE FOR HIM WHO SHALL HAVE BORNE THE BATTLE,
AND FOR HIS WIDOW AND HIS ORPHAN--
TO DO ALL WHICH MAY ACHIEVE
AND CHERISH A JUST AND LASTING PEACE AMONG OURSELVES,
AND WITH ALL NATIONS.
