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 10–12, 1972: In the 30s Now
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
February 10, 11, and 12, 1972.
They’re “in the 30s now.”
The countdown is no longer abstract. It’s measurable. Weekends are counted. Phone calls are planned. Flight dates are fixed.
In these letters, Dick writes from Vietnam about briefings, poolside gin and tonics, and the simple ache of being homesick.
Sarah writes from San Antonio about parties, exhaustion, jealousy, exercise machines, babysitters, and the complicated, messy, very human business of waiting.
Three letters from Dick.
Two from Sarah.
And a growing sense that the end of distance is getting closer.
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.
