"I'm no young man no more," he says, so he'll spend Memorial Day quietly at his home in Texas. Richard Overton was born in 1906 and served in World War II.
This spring he was flown to Washington D. C. by Honor Flight Network to visit the WWII memorial, and he loved it:
“I was really honored when I got there,” Overton said of his visit to the World War II Memorial. “There were so many people, it was up in the thousands. And we danced and we jumped … them people tickled me to death. It made me happy as can be.”
