The Allgoods: Vietnam Through the Eyes of Love
In 1971, two young Air Force veterans — Richard and Sarah Allgood — found themselves separated by the Vietnam War, yet connected through hundreds of heartfelt letters.
Decades later, after their passing, their daughter discovered a preserved box of their correspondence: a story of love, family, courage, and hope written one letter at a time.
The Allgoods: Vietnam Through the Eyes of Love shares these personal letters, weaving a timeless narrative of war, separation, and enduring devotion. Join us as we honor their legacy and explore how even in the hardest times, love finds a way.

The Allgoods: Vietnam Through the Eyes of Love
January 15–17, 1972: Dick Writes to His Family
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In the days following his daughter’s birth, Dick writes three letters from Vietnam — steady, protective, and deeply anchored in love. Read together, these letters show a father fully formed: reassuring his wife, responding to fear and exhaustion, and counting the days until he comes home to his family for good.
The Allgoods: Vietnam Through the Eyes of Love is a personal podcast project based on real letters exchanged between Capt. Richard Allgood and Capt. Sarah Allgood during the Vietnam War. Photos of the original letters, family snapshots, and behind-the-scenes commentary are available for supporters.
