Adds names of 74 USS Frank E. Evans crew members to Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall.

This bill would add the names of 74 crew members from the USS Frank E. Evans to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. These service members died on June 3, 1969, but their names are not currently on the wall. If passed, the names of these service members would be officially added to the wall.

What Would Change

Today, the names of the 74 crew members who died on the USS Frank E. Evans on June 3, 1969, are not on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of Defense would be required to add their names to the wall within one year. This would result in their names being added to the wall.

Key Provisions

Requires the Secretary of Defense to add the names of 74 USS Frank E. Evans crew members to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall.
Directs the Secretary of Defense to consult with the Secretary of the Interior and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund on how to place these names.
Exempts these actions from the Commemorative Works Act, a law that usually applies to new memorials.
