Elmo Zumwalt
Elmo Russell Bud Zumwalt Jr. was an American naval officer and the youngest man to serve as Chief of Naval Operations. As an admiral and later the 19th Chief of Naval Operations, Zumwalt played a major role in U.S. military history, especially during the Vietnam War. A decorated war veteran, Zumwalt reformed U.S. Navy personnel policies in an effort to improve enlisted life and ease racial tensions. After he retired from a 32year Navy career, he launched an unsuccessful campaign for the U.S. Senate.
Zumwalt was born in San Francisco, California, the son of Elmo Russell Zumwalt, M.D., and his wife, Frances Zumwalt, M.D., both country doctors. Frances was raised Jewish, the daughter of Julius and Sarah Frank of Burlington, Vermont. Her family moved to Los Angeles, California, where she grew up. She became estranged from her parents for marrying outside the faith, as the Zumwalts were Christian.
