These are words that Overton has lived by for 112 years. Currently the world’s oldest World War II
veteran, Overton still lives “in the
house he built 72 years ago.” Sitting on the
porch, “smoking cigars and drinking whiskey” is one
of his favorite pastimes. He is fortunate
enough to have 24-hour care right there at
home.
Overton is
literally feeling no pain. He recently told
reporters: I feel fine every day. The
human body is an
amazing gift, capable of great endurance.
