What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "USS Frank E. Evans Act," aims to honor fallen service members. It provides for the inclusion of the names of the 74 crew members of the USS Frank E. Evans who were killed on June 3, 1969, on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. The Secretary of Defense is tasked with authorizing this inclusion within one year of the Act's enactment. To handle potential space limitations, the Secretary must consult with various authorities regarding the placement and naming of these additions. Additionally, the Commemorative Works Act will not apply to these specific activities.
