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
February 4–6, 1972: Three Days at a Time
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
February 4, 5, and 6, 1972.
As February moves forward, the pace of the letters increases.
Rather than rush through them or skip days, this episode brings together three days at a time — allowing the story to continue with integrity and momentum.
First, Sarah writes from San Antonio — navigating early motherhood, exhaustion, hormones, friendships, routine, and longing.
Then, Dick writes from Vietnam — marking days off, managing logistics, traveling between bases, and counting down toward home.
Six letters.
Three days.
Two lives moving steadily toward the same reunion.
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.
