After leaving the United States for Vietnam in March 1969, the USS Evans arrived in Vietnamese waters in early May. It served as naval gunfire support until the end of the month when the ship left its post to get more supplies. collided with an Australian aircraft carrier ripping the Evans in half.   Keywords: patriotic war died folk song acoustic guitar American flag Navy hero military lives lost protest sad fatal help cause compelling recognition father son family Just off the National Mall in Washington, D.C. stands a large, black stone wall, more than 245 feet in length. Etched in its reflective surface are 58,286 names of U.S. service members who lost their lives decades ago a half a world away. This is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, but some believe it is incomplete. Nearly 40 years after the war’s end, some families are still fighting for their loved ones’ service to be recognized, and for their names to be inscribed onto the slab of smooth granite. On a wall with more than 58,000 names, how hard is it to add another 74? Harder than you might think. The names belong to men who lost their lives aboard the USS Frank E. Evans during the war, and have been left off the memorial, they say, because of a technicality.

Lyrics:
YOU MAY NOT KNOW WHO I AM, 
I'M ONE OF THE MEN WHO FOUGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY
EVEN THOUGH MY HEART TELLS ME THAT WAR IS WRONG 
WHEN DUTY CALLS I'M READY TO STAND STRONG
 
I KNOW YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, IF YOU WEREN'T THERE FIGHTING RIGHT BY MY SIDE
THOSE FIVE INCH GUNS STILL ECHO IN MY MIND
LIKE THE BELL THAT TOLLS FOR MY SHIPMATES LEFT BEHIND
 
 WHERE'S THE GLORY THEY DESERVE? 
 WHERE'S THE HONOR THAT THEY'VE EARNED?
 WHERE'S THE DIGNITY WHEN YOUNG HEROES DIE? 
 WHERE'S THE GLORY IN THE STAR SPANGLED SKY?
 
IT WAS THE THIRD OF JUNE IN SIXTY NINE, 
THE MOON WAS BRIGHT AND THE SEA WAS CALM
THE EVANS HAD A CLASH AND SHE WENT DOWN FAST, 
FOR SEVENTY FOUR MEN THIS DAY WOULD BE THEIR LAST
 
 WHERE'S THE GLORY THEY DESERVE? 
 WHERE'S THE HONOR THAT THEY'VE EARNED?
 WHERE'S THE DIGNITY WHEN SEVENTY FOUR HEROES DIE? 
 WHERE'S THE GLORY IN THE STAR SPANGLED SKY?
 
WHEN YOU GO TO VIETNAM AND FALL, 
YOUR NAME SHOULD BE UP ON THE WALL
FOR SEVENTY FOUR MEN IN SIXTY NINE WHO DIED, 
THEIR RIGHTFUL PLACE IS STILL BEING DENIED
 
 WHERE'S THE GLORY THEY DESERVE? 
 WHERE'S THE HONOR THAT THEY'VE EARNED?
 WHERE'S THE DIGNITY WHEN YOUNG HEROES DIE? 
 WHERE'S THE GLORY IN THE STAR SPANGLED SKY?
 WHERE'S THE GLORY? WHERE'S THE GLORY? 
 WHERE'S THE GLORY IN THE STAR SPANGLED SKY?
 WHERE'S THE GLORY? WHERE'S THE GLORY? 
 WHERE'S THE GLORY IN THE STAR SPANGLED SKY?
