This photograph of a little Vietnamese girl burned by napalm while running naked down a road during the Vietnam War?


The famous photo of the little girl running screaming toward photographer Nick Ut is impossible to erase from our memory.

The little girl was Kim Phùc, nine years old, and her village in Vietnam had been bombed with napalm.


Nick captured the terrifying image of the burned girl running crying toward him. That encounter changed their lives.


The photographer saved the little girl's life, assisted her, and rushed her to a hospital. His shot made him famous and had the honor of showing everyone the horrors of the Vietnam War.

Decades later, the same little girl, now an adult, was immortalized by photographer Joe McNally.


Kim's back is marred by scars, but she holds a new life in her arms, a symbol of her victory over death.


Thanks to Nick's timely intervention, Kim is living a happy life, far from the horrors of her childhood, despite her scars.

She survived the bombing of her village in Vietnam through the help of a war photographer that helped rushed her to the hospital.


After the war in Vietnam, she immigrated to Canada in the Toronto area, she attended university to become a pharmacist, and she got married and, as you can see in the picture below, she became a mother with the big scar.

If you Google her name; Kim Phùc, there has been a few documentaries about her life.


Currently, she lives in Mississauga, just outside of Toronto, Canada. She published a book called, “The Girl in the Picture,” and she does speaking engagements all throughout Southern Ontario.


She was on CBS Morning show one day and shared her story of how she went to a plastic surgeon for help with painful scarring. The plastic surgeon said to her it would be my honor to treat you!



This story is good for us all to reflect on and realize the horrors of war and do everything we can in Nigeria of today to avoid pushing Nigeria into any form of war.


Good morning to Nigerians

Her name is Phuc? How do you pronounce it?

QuinQ:
Her name is Phuc? How do you pronounce it?

The ph makes a /f sound like an f sound. The u makes an "oo" sound. In this case, you don't pronounce the c directly.


"Foo" is the pronunciation

Hmmm

War is brutal

Just look at the horrors happening in Ukraine

Russia is a killing nation... Ukraine respect the rules of war, but Russia don't... Zelensky should start doing exactly what Russia does

bigpicture001:

It didn't start today, Russia has always been ruled by brutal, soulless dictators and brutes


Joseph Stalin the Russian Dictator during the world war II committed more evil than Adolf Hitler.


Global stat estimated that Stalin murdered more than 50 million people, most USSR citizens who tried to protest his brutal rule at the time.


You need to Google the attached Russian leaders and see how soulless they were in their time of reign.



Putin is now following in their footsteps, really sad

But what really caused Vietnam war
Was US or Vietnamese themselves caused this senseless war?

QuinQ:

Phuc = fucck

Nawaoo

bigpicture001:

None of them is respecting the rule of war, don't let anybody fool you

Who fought the Vietnam war? Or did they fought themselves?
Won't that be called the Vietnam Civil war?

Dont mess with the Americans

Gotocourt:

Nawaoo

Just because a sovereign country wished to become a communist nation but US decided to stopped them. It was indeed a senseless war. The US was defeated totally.

Even Russia - Ukraine war going on now was indirectly escalated by US involvement by hyping the Ukraine govt

Nawaoo

To be frank, USA is making themselves to be a ruler of the world; the emperor of the world. See what they did in Afghanistan and Libya.

It is better power is in the hands of the US than any other country in the world. I bet you don't want Chinese or Russians to lord over you, not to talk of Muslim countries.

What of the other kids in the pic, where they not running towards the photographer?

Infact the boy at the front is also crying and running to the photographer too, but no one noticed him because he's a Male/boy

In some countries that becomes the target of their military, they will either shoot the girl dead or starve her to death or rape her to death and yet they parade themselves online as the Giant of Africa and heroes of some grand civil war. This is the bitter, unvarnished truth: the rot that has consumed this country, turning it into nothing but the most futile place on Earth.
