Vietnam 'Napalm Girl' receives final skin treatment in Florida 50 years after iconic image

"Now 50 years later, I am no longer a victim of war, I am not the Napalm girl, now I am a friend, am a helper, I'm a grandmother and now I am a survivor calling out for peace," Phan Ti told CBS recently, as she marked 50 years since the day she was injured.'I look up I saw the airplane and four bombs'

In the interview with the US network, Ms Phan Ti recalled that she was playing with other children when Vietnamese soldiers told her to run."Too hot! Too hot!" she screamed while running away from her burning village. "I still remember what I thought that moment - 'Oh my goodness, I got burned, then I will be ugly, then people will see me a different way."

Mr Ut's image was featured on the front page of The New York Times the following day and he still keeps in touch with Ms Phan Ti.The 71-year-old has retired but joined her in Miami this week to mark the 50th anniversary and the end of her treatment."I tell them three-time and they said no, then I hold my media pass and I said: 'If she dies, my picture on every front page on every newspaper.' And they worry when I say that and took her right away inside.

badiucao Incredible. Best wishes to her.

Awful

badiucao Let’s hear all the Democrats and their snarky comments about Florida, anddddd GO!!!

Very beautiful story of perseverance, she's a great inspiration! 💙

The United States of America has the WORST human rights record on Earth. Yet it DELIBERATELY hides this open truth. It is a matter of records that it has DELIBERATELY committed some of the WORST of heinous atrocities ever recorded in human history. Lest we forget

🙏

One note, it was a South Vietnamese warplane, but in the sub head, “On 8 June 1972, Kim Phuc Phan Ti, who was then 9-years-old was badly burned by a napalm bomb dropped by an American warplane during the Vietnam war.”

I do not think the Nazi Luftwaffe would have used Napalm on civilians,
