photos that change history

I dont recall when the first time I saw the execution of a viet cong photo by eddie adams, but i always remembered it vividly. Its such an unbelievable and powerful image. Professor Ludak also commented on this famous image and then asked if I saw the Napalm girl image. This i had not and upon just looking for it, i realize how one image can become an iconic piece of history with more power to it than any story could. In looking I stumbled across a website that began collecting these images, and there just so unbeleivable. So, below i decided to put some of the most moving to me, images that just reflect so much information and sentiment, and really stir the person who views them.
