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 27, 1972.
Twenty-three days until Dick leaves Vietnam.
A quiet Sunday at home. Another day closer.
There are baby routines, errands, and small decisions—but everything now lives inside the countdown.
They’ve done this before.
They counted down to Hawaii.
They counted down to his leave home.
But this one is different.
This is the countdown that brings him home for good.
Twenty-three days.
