In the early 1970s, the Navy was facing a retention crisis. For Admiral Elmo "Bud" Zumwalt Jr., Chief of Naval Operations from July 1970 to July 1974, this issue was personal. Admiral Elmo Zumwalt recalled his own struggles with deciding whether to remain in the Navy after World War II or leave the service to attend law or medical school. Zumwalt ultimately chose to remain in uniform and became the youngest CNO when appointed at the age of just 49. Zumwalt made a great effort to visit shore installations and as well as ships on deployment in order to actively listen to the questions and concerns of sailors and their families. Moreover, he empowered sailors' spouses to inform policy and enacted a number of reforms in areas such as housing that mproved the lives of both sailors and their families.

November is Veterans and Military Family Appreciation Month. Naval History and Heritage Command honors the sacrifices made by all veterans and their families in the service of the nation.
