Two letters, written from opposite sides of the world.
Sarah writes from home with a newborn, counting the days until her husband returns, talking candidly about exhaustion, intimacy, birth control, and the physical realities of becoming a family. Dick writes from Vietnam, rereading letters, watching the mail, and focusing on the practical details — finances, savings, and making sure his wife and daughter are taken care of.
Together, these letters show how love survives in the details: planning, waiting, and looking ahead to a life they’re about to begin together.
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.
