Image is a head-shot of Tangee Alvarez, wife of Everett Alvarez, a Vietnam prisoner-or-war- the photo was taken after she received her uncontested divorce in 1973 (she had been waiting for her husbands return for 9 years).

Everett Alvarez was the longest held POW during the Vietnam War- of any POW in any American war.
