Imagine this...you come home, check your messages and hear your horrified son struggling to survive a gun battle in a war zone!
That’s exactly what happened to a stunned Oregon family, when they found a three minute recording of an intense firefight on their voice mail.
You see, Sandie and Jeff Peete's son is on active duty in Afghanistan. Apparently his cell phone re-dialed his parents’ home while he was in the middle of a shootout.
So there they are, standing there listening to gun fire, cursing and screams for more ammunition. Then, the message stopped abruptly, really freaking everyone out.
"It's something a parent really doesn't want to hear. You know, it's a heck of a message to get from your kid in Afghanistan,” said Jeff Petee.
"His friend died a year ago in Iraq and I'm thinking, oh my God, this might be the last time I hear my son's voice on the phone," said Sandie Petee.
The good news, Stephen Phillips is okay. He’s scheduled to return home from Afghanistan when his tour is complete.
