Kim Phuc

Facts from the article:
1. The attack on Kim Phuc's village happened on June 8, 1972.
2. Kim Phuc had to go through seventeen different surgeys, just to get back to normal.
3. In that photo Kim Phuc was only nine years old.
4. One of the most realistic and actual terrors of the Vietnam War was Kim's photo that was captured as she ran away from her home being burned.
5. Today, Kim Phuc lives in Tornto, Canada.

Questions for Kim Phuc:
1. Do you blame the United States for the trouble you faced in your life thus far?
2. Prior to the napalm on your village, and this time knowing it was going to happen...what would you do different before getting bombed?
3. On June 8, 1972 what kept you from just staying in the village and dying?
4. How have you continued through life, and how do you feel about Vietnam now?

I am not willing to ask my questions on Monday.
