Oldest veteran in US is turning 109
2015
Overview
[Richard Overton] chatted with The Post in November and had this to say when asked about his longevity: \"You have to ask God about that. He brought me here and he's taking care of me, and nothing I can do about it, later adding, \"I can talk about what he's doing for me. \"War's nothing to be into, Overton told USA Today in 2013. \"You don't want to go into the war if you don't have to. But I had to go. I enjoyed it after I'd went and come back, but I didn't enjoy it when I was over there. I had to do things I didn't want to do. He's become a staple at local veteran and civic events over the years. Overton served as the grand marshal in Austin's Veteran's Day Parade in November. One of his more recent honors came from the Austin Community College, which gave him an honorary degree in December.
