20 years later, miracle still remembers neardrowning…
Published: December 4, 2007
Twenty years ago, Alvaro Garza Jr., was pulled from the icy Red River after being underwater 45 minutes.
He became known as the Christmas miracle.
Today, the ‘miracle’ is a 31-year-old father of four who works as an oil driller in Texas. But he says he still remembers his brush with death.
He said one of his children, 10-year-old Alvaro Garza III, nearly drowned about six years ago on a family trip to a state park in Texas. The boy was pulled from a river, much as his father was two decades ago.
Garza said he tells his children to respect the water and not take chances.
