OTIS, Ore. (AP) - An Oregon couple checking their voice mail found a frightening three-minute recording of their son caught in a battle in Afghanistan.
Stephen Phillips and other soldiers in his Army MP company were battling insurgents when his phone pressed against his Humvee. It redialed and called his parents in the small Oregon town of Otis.
Most of the sounds were gunfire, but shouts can be heard, including, "More ammo! More ammo!"

If I was the parents of this guy, especially the way the message
ends, I would be in hell. Glad to hear he's ok. He should be home with his friends and family instead of off in some foreign country doin' a job that don't need to be done and being hated by the locals for it.
