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 13–14, 1972: Will You Be My Valentine?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
February 13 and 14, 1972.
Valentine’s Day arrives in the final stretch of waiting.
Phone calls are planned. Diets are started. Slim-masters are rented. Bank checks are accounted for down to the penny.
In these letters, Sarah writes from San Antonio about sore arms, baby formula, flowers, jealousy, and the ache of wanting her husband home.
Dick writes from Vietnam about mail orders, movies, clean teeth, and the simple, steady fact that he loves his wife.
Two letters from Sarah.
Two from Dick.
And a Valentine’s Day marked not by roses — but by distance measured in the 30s
