The image shows Tangee Gonzales and her new husband, Andres Rios Gonzales, during their wedding ceremony. Tangee was the wife of POW Everett Alvarez, who was captured in 1964 and became the longest help prisoner in American history. There is a caption on the back reading, "Tangee Weds Again."

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