Mr. Warren, a native of Massachusetts, graduated from Brown University. He served in the Marine Corps from 1943 to 1952, with assignments in the Far East during World War II. He was an infantry combat commander in Korea during the Korean War, and he continued in the Marine Corps reserve.
In 1962, he became a unit manager for John Hancock Life Insurance Co. in Washington. He was an underwriter for Monarch Life Insurance Co. from 1965 to 1970.
He was a past president of the George Mason chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution and a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
His marriage to Harriet T. Warren ended in divorce.
Survivors include three children, Peter L. Warren of Palo Alto, Calif., Marcy W. Hattam of Bonita, Calif., and Betsy C. Orlikoff of Apopka, Fla.; and seven grandchildren.

Michael Robert Patterson was born in Arlington and is the son of a former officer of the US Army. So it was no wonder that sooner or later his interests drew him to American history and especially to American military history. Many of his articles can be found on renowned portals like the New York Times, Washingtonpost or Wikipedia.
