Breakfast with America's oldest veteran: 107-year-old soldier from Texas

as reported at ABC News dot-com: AMONG THE GUESTS AT THE WHITE HOUSE is the nation's oldest known World War II veteran - 107-year-old Richard Overton of Austin, Texas, who served with the Army's 188th Aviation Engineer Battalion in the Pacific, according to USA Today. Overton was in his 30's when he volunteered in 1942. USA Today's Greg Toppo notes that when Overton was visiting Washington last summer as part of a Honor Flight group, he wondered aloud what it would take to meet President Obama and the Honor Flight organizers laid the groundwork. The centenarian still lives in the house he built after the war, and says he begins each day with a "tablespoon" of whiskey in his coffee and smokes a dozen cigars a day.
