Vietnam prisoner of war Cmdr. Everett Alvarez Jr and Naval History and Heritage Command Combat Artist Douglas Rowe pose for a quick photo with the bust Rowe created of Alverez, highlighting the front of Alvarez in military uniform while on the back, showing his garment worn as a POW at a reception event following the announcement ceremony for the location of the new National Museum of the United States Navy (NMUSN) on Oct. 18, 2024. In 1964, Alvarez became the first American aviator shot down over North Vietnam. He was captured and held for eight and a half years as a prisoner of war, returning home in 1973.
