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: The First Few Days Alone
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In the days after her mother leaves and she is alone with her newborn for the first time, Sarah writes three letters to Dick — tender, anxious, practical, funny, and deeply in love. Read together, these letters capture a young mother learning how to manage on her own: grief at separation, the loneliness of the first days, the discipline of routine, the fierce focus on her baby, and the steady countdown toward the day her husband finally comes home.
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.
