Veterans Day will be bit different for Richard Overton. The man believed to be the nation's oldest living veteran spends most days smoking cigars and enjoying his whiskey. But today? He's spending Veterans Day with President Obama.
Overton, 107, enjoys up to 12 cigars a day and likes to enjoy his morning coffee with a little whiskey, a beverage he credits in part with his long, healthy life. The Austin, Texas, resident still drives, walks without a cane and regularly attends church. He said he was taken aback when he got the invitation to the White House.

A day with the Kenyan will likely do him in. Fly’s carry germs and there’s always a big batch of them around. Why would he spend his day with that jack ass?

Awesome to see someone that able-bodied and enjoying life at such an advanced age. The guy was born with some very rugged genes.

My mom was in her 70s when we had to move her into an assisted living place. I talked to her on the phone every week, and she was talking about these 80-90 year old dudes hitting on her. Pretty funny, to her and me.

Just cause the dudes are old doesn’t mean they don’t have needs.
