I remember seeing Kim Phúc in the newspaper when I was a youngster. I was so young, I did not understand what I was seeing. And now, I see that little girl grown, a mother, full of forgiveness. What a wonderful testimony.
“I was in agony. Naked. So ugly. I wish that picture wasn’t taken.”
Phan Thị Kim Phúc’s life changed forever on June 8, 1972 at the age of nine. Known as “the napalm girl,” the Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph taken of her at Trảng Bàng exposed the world to the savagery of the Vietnam War.
Nearly 50 years later, Kim Phúc offers her #BriefButSpectacular take on her relationship with forgiveness and that girl in the picture. (via CBC Docs)

Wow! I clearly remember seeing the photo in Life Magazine at the time it was released and can recall thinking "How did that child escape Napalm with so little damage to her body?" and until I heard her speaking about it I had no idea what had happened to her aside from her going to college and that was the last of it. Clearly the Lord had His hand on her that day and spared her for the role she would play in the lives of children and others today. That she found the Lord through a copy of the New Testament in a library in Siagon is pretty amazing in and of itself until you step away from it and see the hand of the Lord in it from the very beginning.
What a terrific story! Thanks, Capt. Conyers!

This wonderful Lady is a marvelous person. A veteran in her own right. A true casualty of war who rose beyond hate and choose forgiveness. I hope she will always be at peace with the past.
