Kim Phuc, The Girl in the Picture

The Girl in the Photograph, the Napalm Girl, the little girl who was the focus of what is considered The Photo Of the Century is alive and well and living here in Canada. She was the little girl from the Vietnam War whose village was blasted with napalm bombs, caught on film as she ran naked with 60% of her body covered in 3rd degree burns. Napalm burns at 800° I learned that evening, and she told us of how a soldier tried to ease her pain by pouring water on her burns. We all know now, that only makes it worse and she passed out. Brought to a hospital, she was left for dead. However, fate intervened and she is alive and well today and telling her story to the world.
