ARLINGTON, VA -- U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign announced that the campaign will today file its entire delegate slate in the state of Maryland. John McCain's delegate slate is made up of distinguished Maryland residents, including Commander Everett Alvarez, USN (Ret.) and Captain Michael Cronin USN (Ret.). Alvarez and Cronin were both Prisoners of War in Vietnam, and each spent time with John McCain in the Hanoi Hilton prison camp. Alvarez, the longest-held POW in North Vietnam, was held captive for over eight years, while Cronin was held captive for six years.

"John McCain is a man of unquestionable character and courage," said Everett Alvarez. "The experience he has gained through his lifetime of service and sacrifice makes him the most qualified to be commander in chief of our great nation from the first day he takes office. I am grateful for his friendship and proud to support him for president."

John McCain thanked Everett Alvarez, Mike Cronin and the delegates, stating, "The support I've received from friends and community leaders like Everett and Mike in Maryland is invaluable to the success of my campaign. I look forward to their counsel as we continue to build my grassroots organization across the country."
