Vietnam War’s ‘napalm girl’ finds hope and meaning as peace activist

Kim Phuc is the “napalm girl,” but of course she is much more than a picture, much more than her injuries and much more than a victim of the Vietnam War.

She will share her story at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, exactly 47 years after the napalm attack, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The free event will include an appearance by Nick Ut, the Associated Press photographer who took the photo.
