One of Burrows' most famous images was published first in a ''Life'' magazine article on 16 April 1965 named ''One Ride with Yankee Papa 13'', about a mission on 31 March 1965.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://time.com/3879815/vietnam-photo-essay-larry-burrows-one-ride-with-yankee-papa-13/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150703060538/http://time.com/3879815/vietnam-photo-essay-larry-burrows-one-ride-with-yankee-papa-13/ |url-status=live |archive-date=July 3, 2015 |title=Sudden Death in Vietnam: 'One Ride With Yankee Papa 13' |last=Cosgrove |first=Ben |magazine=Time |language=en-us |access-date=2019-06-02}}</ref>

Flying in a helicopter with the US Marines' Medium Helicopter Squadron 163, Burrows captured the death of Yankee Papa 3 co-pilot Lieutenant James Magel. At the [[landing zone]] Magel was assisted to Yankee Papa 13, where airborne door gunner Lance C. Farley gave first aid. It was to no avail and Burrows captured Farley's distress at the loss of his comrade.<ref name=":6" /><ref>{{cite news |title=Vietnam Spring |last=Hendrickson |first=Paul |author-link=Paul Hendrickson |date=15 September 1996 |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]}}</ref>

''Reaching Out'' was another famous image. It features [[United States Marine Corps|US Marine]] [[Gunnery sergeant|Gunnery Sgt.]] Jeremiah Purdie, who while wounded, is seen reaching out to wounded Lance Corporal Roger Dale Treadway.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.virtualwall.org/dm/MitchellPH01a.htm |title=The Virtual Wall}}</ref><ref name=":4">{{cite web |url=https://www.npr.org/sections/pictureshow/2013/01/27/170276058/an-iconic-life-image-you-must-see |title=An Iconic 'Life' Image You Must See |website=[[NPR.org]] |date=27 January 2013 |language=en |access-date=2019-06-02 |last=Amaria |first=Kainaz}}</ref>

{{Blockquote|text=Larry Burrows made a photograph that, for generations, has served as the most indelible, searing illustration of the horrors inherent in that long, divisive war — and, by implication, in all wars.|sign=Ben Cosgrove|source=}}

''Reaching Out'' was taken on 5 October 1966 after the Marines were ambushed on Mutter's Ridge. However, the image was not featured in ''Life'' until February 1971, following Burrows' death.<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":4" />
