"Seventy-Four" - Short Proof of Concept Movie about the USS Frank E. Evans

A story that needs to be, and should be told. Great job.

Looking forward to seeing the movie.

So looking forward to this one!

This is a story that needs to be told. I truly hope it will be made into a full movie.

Our previous ND Governor Bergum is well aware of "The Lost 74" & was just appointed Secretary to the Interior and another position, so he will 'Getter done the North Dakota way.' Cross ✝️ your fingers!!

As I watch my Aunt, Uncle and cousins in this short portrayal of their life it is very emotional.
With a lump in my throat and tears, I thank you for bringing this story to light.

❤️😞

Fantastic job, Bill. Let's hope and pray that your shipmates finally get the recognition they justly deserve. 🙏🇺🇸

Bravo Bill! This story needs to be told.

Bill and everyone else that was involved, AMAZING JOB! Absolutely love it! ❤️

Excellent. This should be a feature film. War is hell and the Evans is an example of how mistakes get the good guys killed. The reason the Evans was in the area is support for our war effort in Vietnam. A foolish waste of American lives that entire conflict.

My brother-in-laws brother, Patrick Glennon, was on that ship and was one of the 74 who died that day.

This was very tastefully done. Being a Navy Vietnam Veteran, this was hard for me to not shed a tear or two. We had just left Vietnam shortly before this happened. We were actually in Guam transferring an LST over to the South Vietnamize Navy and training them on board, before going back to the world to our new duty stations. We heard about this when it happened, but I did not know that there were 3 brothers on board the Evans. It was always my understanding that the Navy did not allow brothers to serve together on board a Naval vessel during war time. I was under the understanding that ever since the 5 Sullivan brothers in WW2 were killed on the same ship that the Navy made that ruling. Maybe the ruling did not apply because Vietnam was not a declared war, but instead was considered a conflict.

Thank you, this story needs to be told.
