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.

January 31, 1972.
The last day of the month.
These are the final letters of January.
Dick writes from Vietnam after receiving a stack of delayed mail, marking another month off his calendar. Sarah writes from home with a three-week-old baby, marking the same day through routine, weather, visitors, and the small details of daily life with a newborn.
Two letters. One date.
Both focused on the same thing: time moving forward, one day at a time.
This episode closes the month of January in this project.
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.
