Earl Warren was a popular Republican Governor of California for three consecutive terms. He was present at the Santa Ana Army Training Base, with its Commanding General, Ralph Cousins, at a parade attended by Tom Cartmell, at which several posthumous medals were awarded.

In 1948, Earl Warren was the Republican nominee for Vice President, an election he lost with his Presidential partner, Thomas Dewey.

Earl Warren was later appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court by President Eisenhower in 1953, where he developed a distinctly liberal reputation in his arguments and decisions.

He died in 1974 in Washington, D.C.
