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 2, 1972.
Nineteen days until Dick leaves Vietnam.
The countdown continues, but these letters are no longer only about missing each other.
Dick writes from Bien Hoa about shipping belongings to Miami, finishing out-processing, and counting the final days. Sarah writes from home about baby Cissie, bills, errands, an empty side of the bed, and all the conversations they’ll soon be able to have face to face.
They are already imagining what comes next.
They are planning a life after the waiting
