A Man of God Shares His Life Story from Football to Viet Nam and Beyond

Monty Riffer started life in Pittsburg, PA, where he was expected to work in the steel mills just like so many young men of his era. God had different plans.

Monty's talent for football was his ticket out of Pittsburg and the steel mills. After a promising college career, Monty was drafted to go to Viet Nam. Immediately after returning from Viet Nam Monty married his sweetheart Kathy (now married over 50 years)!!!

 

Monty was kind enough to share his life story with Louis and Landon of Centent Camp. The boys asked so many questions and Monty answered them all. What was it like to not reach your dream of playing pro football? What was it like saying goodbye to your family as you left for the war? Content Camp is a club for Kid Creators here in Indianapolis.
