August 29, 2009 NEW YORK (AP) The woman photographed as a child running naked down a highway while fleeing a napalm attack during the Vietnam War is in New York City to give hope to burn survivors, including U.S. servicemen and women injured in Iraq and Afghanistan. A spokeswoman for the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors says 46-year-old Kim Phuc (fook) is speaking about her ordeal Saturday at the society's annual convention. She was only nine years old when she suffered third-degree burns over half her body from a 1972 napalm attack. The Associated Press photograph taken of her as a child has become an iconic image of the Vietnam War and won a Pulitzer Prize. -- On the Net: Kim Phuc Foundation International: www.kimfoundation.com The Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors: www.phoenix-society.org . --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sixties-L" group.
