In late 1942, Warren participated in the opening of the Western Signal Corp Training School at Camp Kohler, Sacramento, California. It was at Camp Kohler that Warren supervised training of the Philippine Radio Operators, who later returned to free the Philippines.

In November 1944, he was assigned to the China-Burma-India Theater. He later volunteered for China duty to train Chinese Radio Operators. Warren became a member of the 993rd Signal Company attached to the Chinese Combat Command in January 1945, and remained there until December 1945.

Upon completing this tour of duty, Warren returned to the United States and was honorably discharged on December 31, 1945.

In December 1991, a Navy Cross recipient was the guest speaker at a luncheon meeting of a small group of Fresno Veterans. This speaker dramatically described his vision of building the Legion of Valor Museum to honor those special heroes of our great country's history, and additionally, to honor all veterans of all wars. The speaker described the goals of the museum and plans for its future growth. This Museum format has never changed. The speaker so impressed Warren that he immediately made a donation, later visited the Museum and became, what was probably, the first volunteer.

Warren was invaluable in the early development and financing of the Legion of Valor Museum. He continues to be an avid supporter of the Museum and is a tremendous asset in his position as Chief of Staff. His experience and expertise have been of great value to the Museum in its various stages of development.
