If I had to pick one person to help with gofundme, it would be this amazing man.
Send him $5 or $10 or even just $1, everything helps but also helps yourself with knowing you saw someone in need and did something about it, and if you know God then helping others helps you in those eyes too from above and last but most important is you will feel emotion again towards others and for some who give help it brings them tears of Joy literally crying just to see how greatful the ones in need are to recieve help from others....If you can't help with money then tell others about it who can by spreading the word, by spreading the word you are helping in more ways money ever can, for if nobody hears someone needs help then they will fall silently away like a leaf from a tree while everyone sleeps blindly in the night.
Crying Hippy I believe helping others is a key to eternal peace. Great feeling. I will be sending my generous gift to his go fund. Wont even think twice about it. God Bless
Crying Hippy I am a Army Vet. and live in Texas too so this hits close to home.
Thanks for serving Brother, two Women I Love also live in Texas, so keep spreading the message of giving my friend anyway you can and God Bless You, our freedom is what it is, ours! Because of men, women and the families who have Loved ones like you serving or have served their time to protecting what is Ours, Freedom.

I'm sending a contribution today... he's 113 now, he'll be 114 in May... really great inspiration, he'll outlive all of us! Hope we get some updates soon.
He actually passed in December of 2018 at the ripe age of 112. He was a true american hero.
GOD Bless you Mr Overton! 🙌✝️🕊 Rest in Peace Sir! 🌟 American 🇺🇸 Legend! 🦅🇺🇸🗽
I'm 70 and Mr. Overton seems to be in better shape than me.
lol may u be blessed to see 100🙌🙏
That's Your fault
Who the hell is Veteran's Affairs treating and taking care of now? They never seem to have the funds to take care of our vets that do need care like this great man so where the hell is the money going?
The young people who know how to manipulate the system; esp those that have been overseas...they say they put n their time & will never work again! They lie about health/mental issues, but veterans like this do not get needed care from them! So sad!!?
AWESOME Sharing here !
His gofundme is $160,000 now
I just hope his family was honest about that fund
government should pay it
big bad one 100%!!!!
You have military retirees and veterans for the past 20 years getting disability benefits with no problem, yet this man served in war back when the VA only helped those that were wounded and got benefits. It wasn’t until around 2004 the VA opened doors to war veterans, but only recent ones.
My dad had 12 hr care. I stayed with my father overnight.
I have no doubt that volunteers will avail themselves free of charge.
Sad thing is no man or woman who sacrifices on the battlefield should ever have to pay a goddamn dime for health care. You paid for it already.
100% America so quick to send them over to fight war but never get the care and hospitality they deserve when they get home SMH
Federal government should pay every fucking thing for this man...
Really nice god bless

He passed away
worszt obvious case of audio deepening this guys voice
sad for two levels. that fox 7 austin needed to do it. and also sad the reporter had his voice wasnt good enough
0:50 if would've told that guy he'd like to 111 years he likely laugh lol. Wow
Great, the Black George Burns, Jesus Bless him
The target will easily be met.
Darn, I just found out he died, I would have donated to this fund, he was a great guy and ya gotta love him.
Jerry York he's not dead
+Jerry York That was Frank Levingston NOT Richard Overton. They're both African-Americans and Levingston held the title of Oldest WW2 Veteran in the US before he died so maybe that's why you got it wrong. Overton is still alive and is currently the Oldest WW2 Veteran in the US.
Fawk Yu thank-you Frank
Jerry York Richard Overton is still alive he celebrated his 112th Birthday on the 11th May this year
Brittany Rozenberg Hollander yes? He did? Cool thanks!
