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.

March 1, 1972: Twenty Days to Home and Three Hearts Waiting
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
March 1, 1972.
Twenty days until Dick leaves Vietnam.
The final month begins.
Sarah writes from home with baby Cissie — doctor visits, sunshine, baby clothes, errands, and the daily work of caring for a child alone. Dick writes from Vietnam, trying to place a phone call, making plans for the move ahead, and counting every remaining day.
For a father who has not yet held his daughter, twenty days is both a lifetime and almost no time at all.
After a pause in this project, we return where we belong — in the letters.
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.
