Okay, I can't find any background history on the original image, but I would be interested if anyone can confirm/prove my thought wrong.
Regarding the picture of the Vietnamese girl, Kim Phuc, I actually had the oppurtunity to listen to her speak at my school when I was in grade 3. I can still see her say, "Do you see what appears to be clothes falling off my cousin's back?" As an image of her grandmother carrying a young boy came up on the screen, "Those are not his clothes. That is his skin." I believe he died later that day. Even at such a young age, those images were just as powerful as they are to me today.
