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 4, 1972.
Sixteen days until Dick leaves Vietnam.
The countdown continues, but now it feels immediate.
Dick writes from Vietnam about the final stretch—finishing alert duty, making small preparations, and thinking about the flight that will take him home. Sarah writes from home about getting ready in her own way—buying baby essentials, navigating small spaces filled with new life, and imagining what it will take to build a home for three.
They are not just waiting anymore.
They are preparing.
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.
