Old Living WWII veteran, Richard Overton

[WillBrink]

I'm sure some of you know who that is. But if not, I made that meme. The oldest living WWII veteran, a 112 years old, gun totin' cigar smokin' whisky drinkin' stud:

"Overton gained media attention during the 2013 Memorial Day weekend when he told Fox News he would spend his Memorial Day 'smoking cigars and drinking whiskey-stiffened coffee.'

Good for him!

The car in his driveway is older than me!

I can tell you for a certainty that Mr Overton likes Buffalo Trace Bourbon.

And a nice Fuente is appreciated as well.

I met a 96 year old WWII vet two days ago. He was fit as a fiddle and we had a pleasant conversation. Very wise man, he was.

I hope he's a local celeb in his town and never wants for his Bourbon, etc.

Trust me, he is. They renamed the street where he lives after him.

When I visited, there were several other folks there to pay their respects. We all had offerings to share. He was a very kind gentleman, and it was a pleasure and an honor to shake his hand and listen to him speak.

Excellent. I'd be more interested to meet him than any movie star, rock star, etc.
