Richard Arvine Overton served in the South Pacific from 1942 to 1945. At 107, he’s America’s oldest veteran.  He 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.
And in case you’re curious, he attributes his longevity to yard work, whiskey and an aspirin a day.
