It has been over 30 years since a photographer captured the picture of a terribly burned little Vietnamese girl staggering down a highway.
The terror in her eyes told it all. She had been to hell and back for war does not ask for a birth certificate before it does its damage. It does not discriminate, it simply destroys any and all that lie in its path.
One would assume that this little one did not survive, but she did.
Survived to be part of a Veteran’s Day celebration in Washington, DC in the year 1996. Survived to lay a wreath at the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial.
Survived to speak the following words, “I have suffered a lot from both physical and emotional pain. Sometimes I could not breathe. But God saved my life and gave me faith and hope. Even if I could talk face-to-face with the pilot who dropped the bombs, 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.”
Ah, yes, she survived. Survived to hear the sobs of those who listened to her words of forgiveness. This little girl, now a grown woman, took an atrocity and turned it into a moment of amazing grace. Did not forget but also did not let the memory destroy her.
