Richard Overton, 107, the oldest living veteran of World War II, receives a standing ovation after President Barack Obama paid tribute to him during a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington November 11, 2013
“…. And if the President asks Overton to talk first?
“I’ll just keep my mouth shut — I wouldn’t know what to tell him. I’ve never thought of that. For one thing, I’d talk about (how) we’re proud to have him. I wish him good luck all the way through. We have to pray for him. We have to pray for him and help him because we all need help.”
