This is mind blowing. 109, that's almost as old as Hillary. Seriously though, listen to him talk. He could pass for a guy in his 70s or 80. This guy was already 39 when WW2 ended!

Let him celebrate how he wants to. He’s most definitely earned it!

This is him when he was in the service.......

"Overton, was born in Bastrop County, Texas to Gentry Overton and Elizabeth "Lizzie" Franklin. His father's paternal grandfather, John Overton Jr., was white, and the son of John Overton. He served in the South Pacific from 1942 through 1945, including stops in Hawaii, Guam, Palau and Iwo Jima. He left the U.S. Army in October 1945 as Sergeant ."

I wonder what 109 years of memories are like? It seems like he has no major brain problems so in all probability he can most likely remember the past 100 years, maybe all the way back till the time he was 3 or 4. That is utterly mind blowing. He could remember a time when people like Mark Twain were still alive.
