Jeremiah Andrew Denton Jr. (July 15, 1924 – March 28, 2014) was a U.S. Senator representing Alabama from 1981 to 1987, a United States Navy Rear Admiral, and Naval Aviator taken captive during the Vietnam War. Denton was widely known for enduring almost eight years of grueling conditions as an American prisoner of war (POW) in North Vietnam after the A-6 Intruder he was piloting was shot down in 1965. He was the first of all American POWs held captive and released by Hanoi to step off an American plane during Operation Homecoming in February 1973. As one of the earliest and highest-ranking officers to be taken prisoner in North Vietnam, Denton was forced by his captors to participate in a 1966 televised propaganda interview which was broadcast in the United States. While answering questions and feigning trouble with the blinding television lights, Denton blinked his eyes in Morse code, spelling the word "TORTURE"—and confirming for the first time to U.S. Naval Intelligence that American POWs were being tortured. In 1976, Denton wrote When Hell Was in Session about his experience in captivity, which was made into the 1979 film with Hal Holbrook. Denton was also the subject of the 2015 documentary Jeremiah produced by Alabama Public Television. In 1980, Denton was elected to the U.S. Senate, where he focused mainly on family issues and national security, helping pass the Adolescent Family Life Act (the so-called "Chastity Bill") in 1981 and heading the Judiciary Subcommittee on Security and Terrorism.

Sam Derry was a member of the Royal Artillery and had been one of the thousands who escaped at Dunkirk. He was transferred to North Africa where he was captured in 1942. He managed to escape but was soon re-captured that July. He was imprisoned in the Chieti Camp in Italy where he was to eventually take charge of the escape committee. He helped many prisoners to escape. On a train journey through Northern Italy, Derry managed to escape. Derry headed to Rome and was eventually assisted by The Monsignor (Irish priest Hugh O’Flaherty), who promptly asked him to join the 'Council of Three' taking charge of organizational details. Derry managed the discipline amongst the prisoners of war ensuring that no unnecessary risks were taken while moving from location to location or through over indulgence of alcohol. Derry maintained careful financial records of all the monies used by the organization in providing food, provisions and shelter for POW's and civilians. He commented of The Monsignor: "Tramping around Rome with him, I marveled at how his organization had so far concealed more than a thousand ex POWs in convents, crowded flats, on outlying farms." "He is one of the finest men it has been my privilege to meet. Had it not been for this gallant gentleman, there would have been no Rome Escape Organization." More
