John A. Dramesi
Colonel John Arthur Dramesi (born February 12, 1933) is a retired U.S. Air Force officer who was held as a prisoner of war at the Hanoi Hilton in North Vietnam during the Vietnam War.〔Reynolds, Jon A., (Question of Honor ), Air University Review, Vol. XXVIII, No. 3 (March–April 1977): 104-110.〕 Dramesi is one of only four members of the USAF to be twice awarded the Air Force Cross, the first for the mission on which he was shot down and captured, 2 April 1967, and the second for the six-month period following his second escape and recapture, from May to November 1969, when he was beaten and tortured. He also received an award of the Silver Star for gallantry during an escape on 10 May 1967 and the month following his recapture, when he also was beaten and tortured.
Dramesi is one of the very few captives who never broke under torture. He was held along with Senator John McCain and has criticized McCain's conduct as a prisoner and after release. McCain would later hail him as "one of the toughest guys I've ever met."〔 Dramesi has also criticized the conduct of a number of his fellow POWs.[Miner, Michael (), Chicago Reader, October 2008.〕]
==Early life==
Dramesi was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 22 February 1933 and grew up in Blackwood, a neighborhood in Gloucester Township, New Jersey.〔via Associated Press. ("Ex-Pease Commander May Seek Elective Office: Brother sys Ex-POW relieved of duty pending retirement" ), ''Nashua Telegraph'', December 26, 1981. Accessed May 30, 2013. "Dramesi, a Gloucester Township native whose defiance of his captors while a prisoner of war in Vietnam earned him nationwide respect, was replaced suddenly as commander of Pease Air Force Base in Newingon, N. H., on Monday under circumstances which remain unclear."〕 He graduated from Rutgers University and its Air Force ROTC program in 1956, and was trained as a fighter pilot flying first F-100 Super Sabres and then F-105 Thunderchiefs. He was shot down over North Vietnam and captured on 1 April 1967.〔Dramesi, John A., Code of Honor. New York: Norton, 1975.〕
