On June 8, 1972, I was your average 7-year-old--happy to be out of school and looking forward to summer vacation. Soldiers were fighting in a place called "Vietnam" but that was far away. It didn't really affect me in my happy little beach town of Muskegon, Mich.Over meatloaf and mashed potatoes, we watched news reels on television. As callous as only a child can be, I got used to seeing the graphic images. In fact, it used to annoy me when war updates interrupted "Tom and Jerry." Then a picture appeared that pierced my happy-normal life. Photo of Girl in Vietnam Napalm Bombing Brings Back Memories
