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 22, 1972.
Twenty-eight days until Dick leaves Vietnam.
On this same date, forty-eight years later, he would take his last breath.
But in 1972, this was just another day in the final countdown — ham on rye in Bien Hoa, a new baby formula, a tiny hernia, late-night love notes, and two young parents missing each other fiercely.
The last month continues.
