Marine Capt. Frank was assigned to the 5th Air Naval Gunfire Liasion Company, III Marine Expeditionary Force, Okinawa, Japan. He was killed while participating in a food distribution mission in Biaj, located outside Mosul. His team came under small arms fire by an attacker in an Iraqi soldier's uniform. It was not known if the outfit was a disguise or if he was slain by an Iraqi soldier. Warren graduated in 2000 from Turpin High School in Cincinnati, Ohio and went on to graduate in 2004 from The Citadel where he majored in political science. He was on his third deployment to Iraq when he was killed. Warren was looking forward to retiring from the service so he could spend more time with his wife, Allison, and two young daughters. He planned on teaching history at a high school and coaching track. Warren was a wonderful husband, father and patriot who wanted to make a difference in the world.
