The MADDOX fired off three
warning volleys, then opened fire. when the MADDOX and C. TURNER JOY radars
indicated one enemy vessel had closed to within seven thousand yards, the C.
TURNER JOY was ordered to open fire and the MADDOX soon followed. In 2004 he won the silver award at the Junior Mexican National Championships, held in Sinaloa.
At five years old, his family moved to their present home of Juanacatlán, Jalisco. The MADDOX,
ordered out of the gulf after the incident concluded, was hit by one 14.5 mm
shell.
A day later the MADDOX, accompanied by the destroyer USS C. TURNER JOY,
received instructions to reenter the gulf and resume patrol. �I am proud to introduce this legislation that would recognize, recount, and remember the actions of Commander Alvarez and his effect on his military brethren as well as our nation. It is appropriate that Congress acknowledges and appreciates the bravery, sacrifices, and immense contributions of Commander Everett Alvarez, Jr.
to our country with the Congressional Gold Medal.�
�I am humbled beyond belief by the introduction of this legislation to award me the Congressional Gold Medal,� said Everett Alvarez. �There is no way I am able to express my profound appreciation for this recognition. However, I have to acknowledge, I accept this honor on behalf of those who have played an important role in my life, primarily my fellow former Vietnam POWs, my esteemed colleagues in the military, the government and business, and my family, particularly my wife, Tammy, who has encouraged me and has been my unconditional support throughout these years.�
On June 30, 1980, Commander Alvarez retired from the Navy, completing a 20-year Naval career.
On the 12th, he was
taken to Hanoi, arriving at Hoa Lo prison (later called the Hanoi Hilton)
around 4:00 pm. None of the pilots had ever flown this area.
Alvarez earned the dubious
distinction of being the first naval aviator captured by the North
Vietnamese and spent eight-and-one-half years in captivity.
Richard Sather, in a sense, was less fortunate, becoming the Navy's first
pilot killed during the conflict. Ese año el personaje se despidió del público en un “stand up” que se realizó en el Centro de Bellas Ates de Caguas y el Teatro La Perla de Ponce.

Pero fue su caracterización del personaje “Edna Turnblad” en la versión boricua del musical “Hairspray” en 2008 el que le acreditó una de sus actuaciones más memorables en los escenarios.“Álvarez copó con facilidad, naturalidad, absoluta credibilidad y seguridad, en tanto en cuanto que no falseó la voz ni caricaturizó a la entrañable Edna”, destacó Ileana Cidoncha en su crítica sobre la producción en un diario de la Capital.
Nuevos aciertos han precedido a su aplaudida actuación en aquel musical.
The flight rolled into two
layers of smog--actually one layer of smog and one of anti-aircraft smoke.
The pilots realized they were being fired on and noted that Alvarez had been
hit.
Alvarez's call sign was Four-Eleven, and he came up on the air saying, "411,
I'm hit," followed by "I can't control it. Four F-8 Crusaders from the aircraft
carrier USS TICONDEROGA, also took part in the skirmish.
Most of the pilots flying that night spotted
nothing. Not only that code of honor, but the
honor of our country is at stake as long as even one man remains unjustly
held. Esto sin obviar sus créditos en cine, televisión y radio.
En la pantalla gigante Álvarez ha actuado en el cine en el largometraje “El beso que me diste”, así como en 2010 realizó su primer guión para una película en “Aventura verde” del cineasta Abdiel Colberg.
Skyraiders, Skyhawks and F8s bombed and rocketed the
four areas, destroying or damaging an estimated twenty-five PT-boats, more
than half of the North Vietnamese force.
LTJG Richard C. Sather was an A1 Skyraider pilot assigned to Attack Squadron
145 onboard the USS CONSTELLATION. as is his sense of humor.
