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 17, 1972.
Three letters. One day.
From Vietnam, Dick counts down in alert tours — nine remaining. Later that evening, he writes again, tired of slow mail and ready for the day when there are no more letters to write.
In San Antonio, Sarah counts down differently — thirty-three lonely days, OB appointments, formula adjustments, crying babies, and weight lost on a strict diet.
The same day.
Two continents.
One family preparing to live together instead of writing about it.
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.
