They're still adding names to the Vietnam War Memorial

The names of 74 sailors who died on the USS Frank E. Evans may finally be included on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C.

“It’s time. We need to recognize the sacrifices that these guys made, that their families made,” Pete Peters said.

Pete Peters, of Redondo Beach, was a machinist’s mate third class petty officer on board the USS Frank E. Evans during the Vietnam War.

Early on the morning of June 3, 1969, the ship was in the middle of a training exercise off the coast of Vietnam when an Australian aircraft carrier accidentally split through it...

CBS2’s Serene Branson reports the Pentagon has repeatedly denied requests to include the names.

Just last week, however, legislation by Congressman Adam Schiff of Burbank to put the names on The Wall passed out of the House.

The legislation now moves on to the Senate.
