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 18–20, 1972: Counting the Days-Dick
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In the days after his wife is alone with their newborn for the first time, Dick writes three letters from Vietnam — affectionate, practical, protective, and steadily counting the days until he comes home. Read together, these letters show a man already turning his life back toward his family: managing money, planning the move, worrying about recovery, thinking about friends, and holding fast to the idea of home as the only thing that truly matters.
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.
