the napalm girl

Did you know.

The girl in this famous picture from the Vietnam War survived. She was treated in an American Hospital and survived despite a prognosis she would die within a few days.

Her name is Kim Phuc and she eventually became a Christian proclaiming the message of forgiveness.

She was approached by a person claiming to be the pilot of the plane whom she promptly hugged and forgave.

The person who claimed to be the pilot was John Plummer, an American. Later it was discovered later was not in actual fact the pilot. (This does not lessen the fact that Kim was willing to forgive the pilot.) The original story before the deception was discovered can be read at http://www.hawaiiforgivenessproject.org/stories.htm#john)

The plane that dropped the Napalm was not an American plane but a Vietnamese plane.
