After 84 years in a communal grave, Sergeant Melvin E. Jones, a New Mexico National Guardsman who died at 22 from malaria while imprisoned in a Japanese POW camp during WWII, is finally coming home. Stationed in the Philippines, he fought valiantly before surrendering at Bataan — and his sacrifice, long forgotten, is now being honored. His remains will be laid to rest on September 15th at Portales Cemetery, bringing closure to his family and a poignant reminder of the countless heroes lost in the war.
