Love Is More Powerful Than Napalm
She has publicly forgiven an American pilot who helped plan the bombing that scarred her as a child -- she credits forgiveness with helping her turn the corner from victim to advocate. "Napalm is very powerful, but faith, forgiveness and love are much more powerful," she has said. (Hear her tell her story on NPR here.)
For all Kim Phuc has been through, she has managed to find a silver lining: "The pain I consider as my protection. It humbles me, and helps me to never take my life for granted," she told HealthDay. "And to share my story."
