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 9, 1972.
Eleven days until Dick leaves Vietnam.
Now the days start to feel different.
Faster.
Shorter.
Closer together.
Dick writes from Vietnam after coming off alert, trying to pass the time while the final days move forward. At home, Sarah is waiting—measuring the distance in phone calls, letters, and everything that still has to happen before he walks through the door.
They are almost there
