"Leave a Message After the Beep"

This is the story of a soldier who "called home" at a very inconvenient moment...and the "message" his poor parents got as a result.

There's also a video report, and a link to the entire phone call.

  1. God bless these soldiers doing such a mostly-thankless job,and may God damn the media for their cynical and mostly useless coverage of this war.It is truly a shame.

  2. Hey tj, I wonder if Big Media would have gotten more worked up if "reverend" Wright had said "God Damn the Media!" instead of "God Damn America"?

  4. my heart goes out to his parents . . . how difficult it must have been to hear that first message, but God Bless the soldier for having the gallows sense of humor to insist gramma not hear the message.
