Richard Overton, the nation's oldest World War II veteran who was also believed to be the oldest living man in the U.S., died Thursday in Texas, according to family. He was 112. Richard Overton was in his 30s when he volunteered for the Army and was at Pearl Harbor just after the Japanese attack in 1941. He once said that one secret to his long life was smoking cigars and drinking whiskey, which he often was found doing on the porch of his Austin home. Overton was born in 1906 near Austin and served in the all-black 1887th Engineer Aviation Battalion. In 2013, former President Barack Obama honored Overton at a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. "He was there at Pearl Harbor, when the battleships were still smoldering," Obama said of Overton. "He was there at Okinawa. He was there at Iwo Jima, where he said, 'I only got out of there by the grace of God.'" (Ralph Barrera/Austin American-Statesman via AP)
