I only recently heard of these guys, which is surprising given that my brother was a POW. (he passed a few months ago)
National security adviser Henry Kissinger went to Hanoi on Feb. 10, 1973, to discuss post-war relations and to witness the first 115 POWs to be released. As a goodwill gesture, the North Vietnamese offered to release an additional 20 men before the next scheduled release date. Kissinger accepted the offer.

Opinion: American POWs taught us all a lesson in 1973 toward the end of the Vietnam War
Even with the finish line in sight, the smell of freedom tantalizingly close, they refused to accept release until they were absolutely certain their mission was completed.
