Meet Richard Overton, America's oldest veteran. Born on May 11, 1906, he has celebrated 110 birthdays (109 at the time of filming) and counting. The supercentenarian has lived through the Great Depression, served in World War II, and witnessed the rise of the Internet. From the Ford Model T to self-driving cars, more technological and scientific progress have occurred in Overton's lifetime than perhaps any other century in history.

I remember seeing your report a few months ago, and telling myself that other people still alive lived through so many different times. I have just learned of his death, I look again at your report, and I tell myself that things that were contemporary even yesterday, now belong to the past. It's a pretty weird feeling.

When I saw my great-grandpa pour himself a cocktail, I aaked my dad if it was wise for him to be drinking alcohol, and my dad patted me on the shoulder and said "Son, he's been having a cocktail a day since I've been alive. I'd be more worried if he chose to not have a drink." RIP Mr. Overton, I'm sure you're missed.

I swear, that I’ll do more once I can. Not just for veterans but the people that need help and are unable to get it. I was saved recently, both physically and spiritually.

Because our western culture and dark forces attempt to create divisions between people and this is just another one; creating generational divides between people that have previously existed for millennia. Obviously one who has experience from age has wisdom and knowledge to share with the younger and less experienced. Modern internet culture does just the opposite because the more you can divide people the more you can control and exploit them.
