Shots from Afghanistan Heard Round the World

Every so often while my husband’s working, he’ll inadvertently bang his cell phone, and the phone dials me.  This happened to a mother whose son was engaged in a firefight in Afghanistan.  He hit a wall and bumped the redial button on his cell.  The firefight was recorded on his mother’s answering machine.  The message went dead after her son shouted, “Incoming, incoming, RPG!”

The BBC covered the story.

    It sounds like the sound track of movie, but it’s real life.
