Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist Nick Ut.


Ut’s iconic Associated Press photo of 9-year-old Kim Phuc fleeing a Napalm bombing captured the conscience of a Nation during the Vietnam War.

Ut did not merely snap an important Historical image, he had to help and took the burned and terrified children to the American hospital.

Some 44 years later, they are still in contact, and Phuc will fly in from Canada to participate in the celebration, which promises to be an emotional reunion.

Nick Ut, who is still working for AP, will be introduced by another media legend, Pulitzer Prize winning war correspondent Peter Arnett.

The award will be presented at the the Los Angeles Press Club (LAPC) Gala event at the Biltmore Millennium’s Crystal Ballroom on June 26.
