Because they were not doing so, the names of those who perished on the U.S.S. Frank E. Evans— even though they had just served and were scheduled to return— are not included on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

This was brought to my attention during a radio town hall by a Fargo resident and family member of a sailor who died on the ship. I introduced an amendment to last year’s NDAA to honor these crewmembers. It passed the House but was not added in the Senate or Conference.

These 74 sailors who perished did so while serving our country. Their sacrifice— and that of their families— is worth not only remembering, but also being forever memorialized on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial alongside those with whom they served.pic.twitter.com/jXa9afGmkg
