OTIS, ORE. — An Oregon couple checking their voice mail found a frightening three-minute recording of their son caught in a battle in Afghanistan.
Stephen Phillips, 22, and other soldiers in his Army MP company were battling insurgents when his phone was pressed against his Humvee. It redialed and called his parents.
Most of the sounds were gunfire, but shouts could be heard, including, "More ammo! More ammo!" After more shouting, the call then cut off.
"I finally got ahold of him," his mother, Sandie Petee, said. "He was embarrassed, he said, 'Don't let Grandma hear it.' "
