It's been a strange day. I had a dream last night of my two years in the Navy. Something lead me to research the Evans as I was in Subic when it was in dry dock. I took some photos that are like the ones you have displayed. Man, it seems like just last week. It is sad to go through my military 'junk box' and remember things. I have talked with others throughout the years about the tragedy. Most recently, I have talked to people about the missing names of the lost sailors on Our Wall in Washington. From Sturgis, to Kansas City, to Denver and southern California everyone....Everyone, seems to agree that these men should be duly noted. I know there are rules about who is on the wall, and I respect that. I also feel a sense of right and wrong. These men just came from Vietnam and were probably going back at the conclusion of the exercises(a little research will note the commendations they received for their role). Are the names not on the wall because of a mistake that night and 'we' don't want to bring it to light? Is it because 74 souls were lost in the flash of a few minutes? I'm sorry if feel differently. That's one reason we go to war - to protect Freedom of Speech. But I am going to try to put forth more effort in getting the names added to the Wall. It's hard enough to view that Granite...even harder, for me, to see it not complete.
