Healed heart: Woman depicted
in iconic photo speaks
at Holy Innocents’
BY DAN WH1SENHUNT

The picture of a 9-year-old Kim
Phuc, naked and screaming as napalm
singed skin from her body, remains a po
tent symbol of senseless conflict.
Phuc on Oct. 23 told a group of
Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School stu
dents that while the Pulitzer-prize win
ning photo is forever burned into the
historical record of the Vietnam War,
her anger is not eternal.
She forgives the pilots who dropped
napalm on her village, Trang Bang, in
1972. She forgives the communist gov
ernment that forced her to drop out of
medical school so she could serve as a
prop for its propaganda machine.

seemed impossible. I had a lot of scars.
I had endured so much pain emotional
ly and physically. At first I thought, ‘No
way, Jose.
Phuc, aware that the “No way, Jose”
expression would sound dated to her
young audience, smiled and said, “You
use that, right?”
She recalled the events leading up to
the moment Associated Press photogra
pher Nick Ut snapped the photo. On
June 8, the villagers were told to hide
in the local temple. Phuc thought the
temple, a sacred place, was safe. She was
wrong.
“It was only when the soldiers yelled
for us to run that we got really scared,”
she said. “The airplanes were so loud and
so close. We were running up the road.
