From the June 1, 2012, Yahoo! News, AP by Margie Mason.
The naked young girl running, screaming in agony is one of those significant photos in the history of the world. U.S. dropped napalm had burned away her clothes and into her skin. The photo shocked the world as much as the Vietnamese officer shooting the Viet Cong soldier in the head, execution-style.
It was taken by AP photographer Huynh Cong "Nick" Ut and graphically presented the horrors of the war.
The picture was taken June 8, 1972. The girl, Kim Phuc survived and is now 49.
