AI Summary
This bill would award a Congressional Gold Medal to Everett Alvarez, Jr., in recognition of his service to the United States. Alvarez was the first U.S. pilot shot down and captured during the Vietnam War, and was the second-longest held prisoner of war in U.S. history, surviving over 8 years of captivity. The bill details Alvarez's military service, including his loyalty to the U.S. and efforts to inspire fellow prisoners, as well as his subsequent civilian service. The bill authorizes the U.S. Treasury to strike a gold medal with Alvarez's image and inscription, and allows for the sale of bronze duplicates to cover the costs.
