Richard Arvine Overton served in the South Pacific from 1942 to 1945. At 107, he’s America’s oldest veteran. He plans to enjoy this year’s Memorial Day in what he describes as the familiar company of up to 12 cigars and some whiskey-stiffened coffee.
And in case you’re curious, he attributes his longevity to yard work, whiskey and an aspirin a day.

My grandmother grew up in this tiny village in Barbados, and she was the only kid in the village to have a cricket bat. She used to play with all the boys, but then they started stealing the bat every time she bought it out of the house and saying that she couldn’t play because girls shouldn’t play sport. So one day she invited them to come play cricket, then set fire to the bat and made them watch it burn, so none of them could play cricket anymore. She was 11.
