Cpl Warren was one of the soldiers in my PSYOPS Det, 6 of the 8 injured were also from my PSYOPS team.
Jason was due to rotate home in less than 20 days, and was looking forward to returning to Montreal.
He was a courageous and dedicated soldier who truly believed in the Canadian mission to Afghanistan.
Jason saved my life during the firefight in May when we lost our FOO, Capt Goddard. He had also attempted to save a wounded ANA soldier while under fire, and later attempted to assist with the care to Capt Goddard. He never once was concerned for his own safety or well being but was more worried about those around him.
Canada has lost a truly magnificent soldier, and I am proud to have served with him over the past 8 months.
Please send your prayers to his family, friends and comrades as they will need as much support as they can over the coming weeks.
The photo Geoff has placed on the forum shows Cpl Warrens transfer case being carried on the left side of the photo, I was proud to be able to carry Jason for his last flight home. I am the soldier to the left front side of the photo.
