Welcome back to The Allgoods: Vietnam Through the Eyes of Love. It’s June 1, 1971, and a brand-new chapter begins.


In today’s episode, Sarah writes from San Antonio after receiving a surprise in the mail — a ring from Dick that fits perfectly and feels like it was made just for her. Her excitement over the ring is only matched by the five love letters that arrived with it. She shares every moment with her friend Joy and treasures the words from both Dick and his father, finding strength in the web of love surrounding her.


This marks the start of a new phase in the podcast — from here on out, each letter is brand new to me. For the past month, I had already read and reread the April and May letters since 2021. But June begins uncharted territory, and with your support, I’m finally moving forward — letter by letter.
