Happy Birthday to the oldest living WW II vet

[Mossome]

Richard Overton turned 109 on Monday. This dude is a hero and a serious BOTL! 109, shot of whiskey every morning, 12 cigars a day, and drives little old ladies to church! We need to get this guy on here and get him some more cigars. Check it out:

About 15 years ago, I worked with a WWII vet who was involved with D-Day. He piloted one of the troop carriers from ship to shore. I was, and truthfully, still am, honored to have known him. I miss that job, I worked with several vets. On every break, several of them would go out smoke their cigars and I would sit, and listen to their stories while I was smoking my cigarettes.
