July 20, 1971: I Groove So Good to You
Send us a text
It’s July 20, 1971, and Captain Dick Allgood is writing from Vietnam to his wife Sarah in San Antonio. With just seven days to go before her Miami trip — and less than two months until their R&R reunion — both are counting the days.
In this letter, Dick is physically tired from flying missions but emotionally steady and unwavering in his devotion. He reacts to Sarah’s updates about a failing marriage between mutual friends, Mike and Nancy, and makes it clear: that will never be them. His love is real, faithful, and constant. He flirts, he reassures, and he tells her to take care of herself — especially as she prepares to travel.
And in the middle of it all, he delivers a phrase that captures both their humor and their passion:
“I groove so good to you.
