Please help support Project 74
Help our organization by donating today! We are working hard to add the missing names of the Lost 74 to the Vietnam War Memorial Wall.
74 US Navy Sailors were killed on 3 June 1969, in service to their country aboard the destroyer USS FRANK E. EVANS (DD 754) when the HMAS Melbourne collided with it in the South China Sea off the coast of Vietnam. Their names are not inscribed on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. due to administrative oversights, inconsistent data sources and erroneous assumptions made at the time of the development of the memorial. These oversights and erroneous assumptions have been corrected by thorough analysis conducted by our Association, consultants and bipartisan legislators.
Our efforts have a cost - we are working with a consulting firm whose advice and guidance has helped us make more progress in the last year than ever before. Your financial support will allow us to continue this work on behalf of the Lost 74.
