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.

February 7, 8, and 9, 1972.
As the countdown tightens, the letters grow more specific.
Dates appear. Flights are assigned. The distance becomes measurable.
In this episode, three days are grouped together — not to rush the story, but to stay with it.
First, Sarah writes from San Antonio, living the long days of early motherhood, desire, exhaustion, friendship, and waiting.
Then, Dick writes from Vietnam with the first concrete details of his journey home.
Six letters.
Three days.
And the beginning of an ending.
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.
