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 6, 1972: Holding Her, Waiting for Him
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
March 6, 1972.
Fourteen days until Dick leaves Vietnam.
At home, Sarah holds her newborn daughter close—watching her sleep, noticing every detail, and feeling how quickly attachment takes hold.
Across the world, Dick looks at photographs of the life waiting for him, counting down the final steps that will bring him home.
They are still apart.
But the connection between them—and the life they’ve created—is already fully formed.
