America's oldest living veteran plans to celebrate Memorial Day at his Texas home like he always does: on the porch, smoking a cigar and sipping a cup of coffee stiffened with whiskey.
Richard Arvine Overton, a 107-year-old World War II veteran, was formally recognized as the country's oldest living veteran earlier this month, traveling to Washington, D.C., for the first time.

Heard aboout this gentleman on the way to work tonight listening to Red Sox play by play guys who interviewed him last week. Our hero here discussed the secret of his longevity to which he credited an avoidance of all contact with TV......Single his entire life, never fathered a child, enjoyed a morning eye opener smoking a quality cigar at breakfast but kept that brain rottening, soul evacuating radiation box far far from him......tough to argue with.
