The main purpose of this legislation is to honor the crew members of the USS Frank E. Evans who lost their lives on June 3, 1969, by ensuring their names are included on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. This act aims to provide recognition and remembrance for these individuals who served during the Vietnam War. Key provisions of the legislation require the Secretary of Defense to authorize the addition of the names of the 74 crew members who died in the incident. This must be completed within one year of the law being enacted.
