At
the age of 107 America's oldest known veteran plans to enjoy this year's
Memorial Day in what he describes as the familiar company of up to 12 cigars and
some whiskey-stiffened coffee - simple luxuries for a man who's lived through a
lot.
'I
don’t know, some people might do something for me, but I’ll be glad just to sit
down and rest,' World War II veteran Richard Arvine Overton told Fox News from the East Austin, Texas home he built after
returning from active duty.
Understandably
Mr Overton is already more than entitled to some extra rest and relaxation after
his service in the South Pacific from 1942 through 1945.
But
it's also been an especially busy past month while making appearances across the
country.
