The resolution urges the 119th Congress to include the names of the 74 crew members who lost their lives aboard the U.S.S. Frank E. Evans on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. The incident occurred on June 3, 1969, during Operation Sea Spirit when the U.S.S. Frank E. Evans collided with the HMAS Melbourne in the South China Sea. Among the deceased were sailors Patrick Gene Glennon and Robert James Seale from North Dakota. The resolution highlights that the U.S.S. Frank E. Evans was engaged in combat support missions and would have returned to such operations after the training exercise, making the crew eligible for inclusion on the memorial.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of recognizing the sacrifice of these sailors, as they were serving in a military capacity related to the Vietnam War. It calls for action from Congress to ensure their names are memorialized alongside other veterans who served during this period. Additionally, the resolution mandates that copies be sent to key government officials, including the President and congressional leaders, to advocate for this inclusion.
