A-10 A-10 flying high
drop that napalm from the sky.
See those kids by the river
drop some napalm watch them quiver.
Napalm (emphasize napalm) sticks to kids!

“When you’re covering the war, you learn about napalm,” Nick Ut, the Associated Press photographer who took the Pulitzer Prize-winning picture of Kim Phuc’s terror, said. “Napalm was everywhere in Vietnam, and I shot a lot of pictures of it. That day, I took a picture of a little boy who died right there in front of my camera. Then a few minutes later, I shot a picture of Kim Phuc.”
When he saw how seriously she was burned, Ut put down his camera, “put water on her body,” then put her in the AP van and rushed her to a hospital. “She was crying, and I was worried she would die in the van. We got to the hospital in 30 minutes.”
Doctors saved her life, and now Kim Phuc lives near Toronto with her husband and two children. This week, she was traveling and not available for an interview. But on Veterans Day 1996, she spoke at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall in Washington.
“As you know, I am the little girl who was running to escape from the napalm fire,” she said. “I have suffered a lot from both physical and emotional pain. Sometimes I thought I could not live, but God saved me and gave me faith and hope.”
She said if she ever met the pilot who bombed her, “I would tell him we cannot change history, but we should try to do good things for the present and for the future to promote peace.”
