*June 8, 1972 – It was on this day near the Vietnamese village of Trang Bang that photographer Nick Ut (Huynh Cong Ut) snapped one of the most powerful images of the war.
Moments after a South Vietnamese plane dropped a napalm bomb, civilians began to emerge from the flaming homes and fields. One of these fleeing survivors was a 9-year-old girl named Phan Thị Kim Phúc. She was naked and her back was severely burned.
The image of the little girl served as a brutal reminder to the American public about the horrific events that were happening every day in the faraway war. The photograph would win a Pulitzer Prize.
