This Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph by AP photographer Nick Ut shows terrified children, including Kim Phuc, center, fleeing down a highway June 8, 1972, near Trang Bang, Vietnam, after an aerial napalm attack. The terrified girl had ripped off her burning clothes. Pham Thi Kim Phuc, now grown and married, forgave John Plummer, the U.S. officer who called in the strike, when they met last November at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington.
