Oldest Vet still going strong at 109

Publisher’s note:  “Mighty fine at 109” indeed.  At 109, Richard Overton is officially America’s oldest living veteran.  During WWII, he answered the call of duty and served from 1942-1945 in the Pacific.

These days he keeps himself busy by working around “the yards” doing whatever he can to keep moving, and he still fires up 12 cigars a day.  

The Patriots Press joins the rest of America in wishing Mr. Overton a very special Happy Birthday. Thank you for you service sir.

Fox News:  Richard Overton feels a "little stiff" from time to time and he's cut out the whiskey but other than that, he feels pretty good.  Not bad for America's oldest living military veteran, who turned 109 on Monday.

“I get around pretty good, just get a little stiff. I'm doing all right, I guess," Overton told FoxNews.com, as he waited at his Austin, Texas, home for a car to pick him up to take him to meet Gov. Greg Abbott.
