Image shows Alvarez from his shoulders up, in uniform, smiling away from the camera- most likely at a press confrence. A caption pasted to the back reads, "Former POW Lt. Cdr. Everett Alvarez 'American people... still honest and decent.' "

Alvarez was the longest held POW of the Vietnam War, at 8.5 years
