The nation’s oldest living veteran, Richard Overton, has died in Austin, Texas. He was 112 years old. He gave credit to God for his longevity, but he always said cigars and whiskey helped.
“I been smoking cigars from when I was 18 years old, I’m still a smoking ‘em. 12 a day,” he said.
We discussed him here a few years ago:
