The purpose of this legislation is to honor the memory of the 74 crew members of the USS Frank E. Evans who lost their lives on June 3, 1969, by adding their names to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. This act aims to ensure that these individuals are recognized alongside other veterans who served during the Vietnam War. Key provisions of the legislation include a requirement for the Secretary of Defense to authorize the inclusion of the names on the memorial wall within one year of the law being enacted.
