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.

The Allgoods: Vietnam Through the Eyes of Love
March 3, 1972: Seventeen Days to Go
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
March 3, 1972.
Seventeen days until Dick leaves Vietnam.
A phone call finally connects them—clear, immediate, almost as if the distance has collapsed for a moment.
Dick writes from Vietnam about waiting, timing his departure, and counting the final days. Sarah writes from home after hearing his voice, describing the rush of it, the loneliness that follows, and the life she is holding together with a newborn, friendships, and relentless honesty.
They are closer than ever.
And somehow, the distance feels sharper because of 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.
