CAMP PENDLETON — A military training camp for teens that focused on courage and determination was dedicated to the critically-ill son of a local Marine.
Hundreds of youth from across the country participated in boot camp and intense training last week at Camp Pendleton that drew its inspiration from a 1 1/2 year old fighting for his life.
The annual week-long winter training sponsored by the Naval Sea Cadet Corps culminated Sunday morning in the graduation of more than 500 Sea Cadets and the news that 19-month Owyn Mick, son of Sgt. Brandon Mick, is out of intensive care and on the mend in his fight against bacterial meningitis.
