HR 3826 United States House · 118th Congress

USS Frank E. Evans Act

This bill directs the Secretary of Defense to add the names of 74 crew members lost when the USS Frank E. Evans sank in 1969 to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall within one year of the bill's enactment. It requires consultation with other agencies to address space limitations for name placement and explicitly exempts this addition from standard commemorative memorial rules under the Commemorative Works Act. The measure directly honors the deceased crew members and affects how their names are displayed on a national memorial.
