Debbie Ormonde held back tears as she counts down the days her youngest son is set to join Marine Corp Boot Camp. 

Shortly after the San Bernardino shooting, 18-year-old Levi Ormonde knew he wanted to serve his country. 

Little did they both know he would begin one of the biggest journeys of his life on the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. 

Debbie says her family is taking time over the weekend to spend as much time as they can with Levi before he heads out Sunday.
