thank you for your service man I was in the army for 4 years you have helped me through a lot of dark times and you have a very relaxing voice thank you for service man have a great and safe day God bless you
Civilian here. Fan from Australia
That man i whould have loved to talk to in my youth get that real life wisdom💪
Im complaining about the fukn adds 💣💥 drives at 107 , this world's already driving me crazy!!!
Well thats the memo on God praise the Lord for moderation. 🙏🙏
A Simple, Humble Life. Says a lot. Then you have people like Dan Bumzerian who’s had 2 heart attacks already by 39 😂
this man is worth listening to a few times.
@@JamesonsTravels if you get a chance do a video on David Goggins.
dans an idiot
Bruh overdosed on Viagra
It’s all the steroids and HGH he takes! He looks like a Caveman!
Passed by his house everyday to school on the east side. Man Sure loves his whisky and cigars
Well I say he earned his right to some indulgences lol js.
Did he see when you passed by his house?
"moderation is key"
"this morning I drank four cups of whiskey"
lol
nah he did a sipp of whiskey in each cup of coffee. ;-)
i was looking at the original vid it explains it better..
but yeah its funny to see it
That's moderation for a veteran
I'll take that advice
At 112, he's earned the right to drink however much he wants
@@chrismc410 I think the point is that he had the self respect for his self to know when he had enough newer generations dont know the word respect or moderation. Everthing in excess and nothings their fault . They don't make em like this anymore .
He built his home in '45, and lived there ever since. He stayed within his means at all times. He reduced / eliminated stress from his life. Doing that, he managed to live his life on his terms longer than almost anyone. Well done, sir. Well done.
god bless
A true American Patriot. It’s hard to not sit there and listen to him talk. he lived in Austin TX born in Bastrop county in 1906. He’s seen a lot of
History go by. Amazing Man.
Love this guy and his outlook on life. He is a great example and as you mention so many take aways that can change a person.
Happy I watched this video.
As a Marine Corp vet, Having the opportunity to take my son to his funeral was amazing!! It was a great honor!!
Thank you for your service 🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thank you for everything . You should be proud of your sons sacrifice for his country . Blessings from England 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Thank you for your service sir.
@@Jay-mp7rf what?
He probably outlived his kids 😳😳
My father just passed his dad my "grandpa" has done just that 😭😭😔.
Passed on 9_26_63 12_28-20 🦅🦅 fly free old man
I read that he never had any but if he did he probably would have.
No way 💀💀 imagine tho
@@natoalvarez5762 my dad was born 9/11/63 and passed away 12/11/20
@@jxavier3876 that's why he lived so long stress free
George Burns once said: " All the doctors that told me smoking a cigar a day.was going to kill me, are all dead now! "
same with a woman who was told to stop drinking soda, it seems the key to a long life is to stay strong in your convictions
@NoTheEarthIsntFlat clearly it ain’t
Honestly genetics are the biggest factor when it comes to a long life as long as you don't personally destroy your body.
Redd Foxx said all the people telling him he shouldn't smoke are be confused as hell their death beds dying from nothing
@Muslimcel normally people who smoke cigars don’t inhale but people who smoke cigarettes always inhale
The world definitely dont make men like him anymore. Bless him and be thankful for his service and learn something for his life experience.
I will be like him humble and positive
dont worry there are people like him out there, its just that they get overshadowed
@@CLK944 he's still a very rare bread
Breed* but yes I agree
@@comradecookies1691 sorry I didn't mean to offend you with that term it's very old term used in this term it's not meant to be offensive
My father took care of that warrior at the VA. He’s a legend back home in Texas. HOOAH 🇺🇸🇺🇸
definitely a legend here, miss that man yet I’ll always look up and see him, truly a great guy. may he ever rest in paradise.🙏🏽🇺🇸 why’d ya move out of Texas?
@@chase5817 Got a job as an engineer for Microsoft. Been there working on the cloud and other innovations over the past 15 years.
Each day tho... I miss the great state of Texas. There is no other state in the union like our Lone Star man. Period
@Johnny Sinns he passed at 112 a few years back I believe
@Johnny Sinns it’s been 20 years after 2000 that’s crazy
Yoo,dead serious my grandma worked at the va too 😂 don’t gotta believe though
God called down to Richard and said, “Brother Richard, it’s time to come home son, You’ve done well my faithful servant, come and rest with me in paradise 🍾😎🏜🏝⛱
I think his laid back approach to life is why he lived so long.
Caribbean motto😉
I think the biggest issue today is that nobody is ever satisfied with what they have. Whether it's a job, money, women, things. People just seem to want more.
Most people that keep wanting more never get what they want
So much greed these days.
"Wanting more" is not necessarily bad. It can drive one to improve. It also can and does drive innovation.
Absolutely.That's why i'm living a minimalist livestyle.I have a 25 year old microwave oven.Why should i by a new on it still works.
When ambition becomes greed
I wish most of my generation would sit with their elderly ones and listen, think of the knowledge that goes with them and could possibly help you in whatever situation you may have.
@Darvin Stjohn No problem!
I love sitting down with my paw damn tough som bitch just to listen about what he day and did its just simthing that every body should do
Thats me right there. Is always good to have knowledge with our old folks. Cause when we old they gone then soon will be gone. So we have to treat one and another like brothers and sisters dads or moms. Respect like we respect our lord
Thank you for you're service brother.
I’m a younger one and I love listening to the elders their story’s their wisdom on life all of us young ones need this
There’s nothing more interesting than hearing these ol veteran’s stories. I really like hearing these brave black soldiers. They don’t bring these newer whiny, bitchy, petty situations to the table. Just a human telling human stories. I personally appreciate all of you veterans. From the WW2 guys (still a few) up past my time. I appreciate you guys serving now and to young folk going in. 🇺🇸
Vietnam vets usually are ashamed to tell their stories so you have to deal with their whiny, bitchy, petty situations.
He lived in that house for 80 years he probably knew everything about it
He said he built it!
@@parker1picasso My dad built our own family house too. It sure brings much more value and a sense of accomplishment after its finished.
My grandfather was a World War 1 vet, who always kept a loaded shotgun under his bed and prayed before going to sleep every night.
don’t want them Imperial germans at his house again
Wish I could hv met him. 💯
I bet he was a great man
“...Accept these souls I might send to you this night”😂
As a 19 year old kid I wish more young people look up to these kind of men. Being Strong,humble and calculated is really hard to find these days thanks to triggered people who complain about everything
There are people out here. Unfortunately in dwindling numbers, but that's the next cultural shift I suppose.
Don't worry about others
Well my friend, you can become a man like that. Listen to his advice and the advice of people like him, live your life in an honest way, learn from your own experiences both good and bad, and soon enough you'll be like that.
Hey young man you were raised right be proud of that.
You know who to look up to. Focus on how Mr. Overton lived, what his attitudes were, find others like him (they’re out there - they’re older and they have a hella lot to give still) and pay more attention to them than ‘trigger-happy’ crowd.
What I like about this man is that he appreciates everything that he has.
And he is not materialistic.
I'm 16 and I try to live by these advices by heart. This man has seen everything the world
has to offer and is satisfied with his life the way it is, also with God.
I think living that way with God in your life is the key to peace in this world.
I'm very happy I saw this video, thank you for reacting to it.
God bless you carry on know right from wrong be somebody like him that people will respect and admire good luck
Keep life simple, that's the way
I work in a cemetary and bury many veterans. Its truly an honor to lay to rest great generations. Thanks for sharing his wonderful knowledge. Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for you service!
Lol for some reason at first i interpreted it as "you enjoy burying veterans" but I understood what you ment later.
“Man will kill you, but God is the one who keep you alive”
That’s some wisdom right there 👍🏼❤️
Well its ok if you belive in gods i guess... anything that keeps you going. That still doesn not mean it exists
@@HellStr82
Very true man. Whatever keeps you going.
@@Teddy_______ Well, he does have a point, it is nice, to see religion helping a lot of folks, that does not change the fact, that religion was and is, one of the biggest causes of war, death and pain, does religion do good, for some it does, does it do bad, oh yes, plenty of it.
@@1Ashram This is an illogical fallacy that only addresses one side. Russia was an atheistic country under Stalin and more people died under Stalin's atheistic, communist rule than any religion ever did. Not to mention China is also an atheistic country and is currently keeping its Uyghur population in concentration camps. Don't believe what the internet tells you bucko, atheism was worse than what Christianity ever did. Pretty much any Christian nations today like in Western Europe and America are thriving and allow free speech and religion. Meanwhile atheisitc nations like China and North Korea have more rules than you can imagine and worse punishments.
@@HellStr82 Id say that the person’s religion is what they make it. You can’t disown/deny some other man’s faith. As a Christian man myself, I of course believe that their is a higher power. And that higher power is assisting me every step of the way regardless on if it’s appealing to you or not. I see the religious as people who place their hope in something to either better themselves or to heal past trauma. Regardless on what people believe or not, we all believe in different things and it’s up to the believers to dictate if this being is improving us or not. It’s not YOUR job to determine if my God /Jesus is real or not. It’s just like telling a married couple that their relationship doesn’t exist. They’d look at you crazy and ignore you because in their eyes, they’ve been faithful to one another since forever. And when a random person tells them that their relationship is nonexistent. That’ll tell something about you.
I had the pleasure of talking to a 102 year old ww2 and Korean vet one day at my work. An insane amount of respect to those men as well as our current.
Old timers like this never complain. They don't sit around feeling sorry for themselves on the inside, either. That's a crazy thing to my generation. And I've been guilty of that too and it makes me mad. RIP Mr. Overton.
I feel what he said about maybe giving out but never giving up. October of 2019 I got in a car accident I barely survived, and spent most of this year learning how to walk and eventually run again. Now I push myself every single day cos there ain't no way but forward, and though it's been hard I'm truly in a better place now than I ever have been before. It's what you will, and it's a state of mind.
Yes me the same back in the March 19th of this year a guy in his late 80s hit me flipped me in a ditch a couple times I had to have surgery on my left pelvis area it was very new to me learning how to walk on a walker nearly four months without walking normal I know exactly what you going through
You should write a book.😳
Your facial expression for this video gave off the impression of pure and honest respect. I’m glad you posted this, because it just made me smile to hear his words
Thank you, and have a good day
I grew up around men like that. Made the memories flood and warm the heart.
@@JamesonsTravels I was born in 2002 but I wish I grew around men like that, Still I hold the same principles...My generation needs to look up to men like you.
@@voton.w.b.8584 same here born in 2005 our world is imploding from weakness and corruption the American dream is going farther and farther In the past its up to us to fix this
He's a humble man, I learned humility from him. He came from a time that's tough everyday, and he didn't even complain about it. I no longer have anything to complain, in fact I owe him a thanks. Thank you for the wisdom you shared with us.
“Church is a wonderful place” we need to get back to that.
I wish I could. But a lot of us just can't suspend disbelief that much. I see the benefits, but so much of "The Good Word" seems so ridiculous. Sometimes I think I should say whatever, and just go.
@@murderc27 go.
@@murderc27, you have to understand that faith is not about believing in angels in the sky. Faith is the road that you choose with others to come together in order to work as a unity for betterment and to unite values. I understand what it's like to lack faith, but that comes after true prayer and practicing the morals we are taught from not only the Gospel, but from Holy Tradition. I know how lot of American churches can feel empty, or like there isn't a true presence there at all. A lot of them from my experience feel phony or just dead, and that's why I want you to check out and consider the Eastern Orthodox Church. I'll pray for you and your spiritual journey, friend. ❤️☦️
I'm an atheist, don't believe in anything but science. But one thing is certain: Church gives back some power. I don't really have a reason to go, went twice in my entire life, but when I'm there, I feel at home.
@@herredward9277 same, its a tradition more than anything where i live
Reminds me of my grandfather who fought in WW2. My grandfather was decorated with honors for his service. We didn’t find out until after he died. He never talked about the war. These were and are the men who just did it. They don’t show off or talk. Do your job. Thanks for the video and your service sir.
He was still driving and still smoking. God Speed, and God Bless you Sir.
That’s a mans man there. Much respect sir. It’s such a loss each time when that generation passes. They are national treasures.
There is something beautifull about seeing a simple old man acting so simple and so grateefull with more than 100 years old besides being a true warrior . This is a kind of true super hero that we can find in real life. An old Lion living in his savana , living what it remains of that respectable life after being a great warrior.
Its these kind of people that we should listen to.
Great respect to this Sir.
"I may give out but I never give up" that line hit home hard for me.
I gave up on myself for a long time and at one point was looking up at rock bottom. In the end I realised the old saying "giving up is not a option" was completely false.
Giving up is the most abundant option in all situations and there are countless reasons to give up. You need to find just 1 reason not to give up and keep going until you give out.
I’m an old guy... felt like giving up many times...haven’t yet! .... you’re doing great!! (Jameson’s vids are always right on the point..!)
I 💯 agree. I’ve always disputed the “failure is not an option” mantra.
Failure is ALWAYS an option.
What a man! A Soldier, combat veteran, family man and great citizen! He is squared away, his house inside and out is squared away! I am proud we served in the same Army. You are an example to us all!
My grandfather made me who I am, he was a ww2 and Korean War vet, crossed the riegn River in Germany and was the only one of his boat to make it across, he came home and worked for electric boat and had a hand in building the nautilus, he was the greatest man I ever knew.
"It makes ME feel good"... the most valuable thing in life is true happiness
Never be afraid of making a decision even if it's wrong or right! If you don't make it you'll never fully learn or understand life. Sometimes you might have to step back and weigh your options, but trust your gut and go with it! - My Father
True American ! Cigars ,whiskey and guns.
Rest in peace , Sir
I'm an American but Winston Churchill will like to know your Location 🙏🙂🦅🇺🇲
@@natoalvarez5762 I'm English lol Churchill was a great man and is a hero
He follows Sir Winston’s example for a long life: God, cigars and whisky.
@@siredith8846 what if I roll my cigars?
@@cartiercam3935 Smoke them the healthy way, and you’ll come to no harm.
My Grandmother was my 1st drill sgt. She kept us in line. She used to say the same thing: " I may give out but, I never give up." Btw, this is my favorite video. RIP Mr. Overton & Grandma Ruby. 🥀
Some friends and I in a cigar group pooled a bunch of cigars and sent them to Mr. Overton some years back. This man is awesome
My neighbor is(was) his niece. RIP sir 112 years WOW 🤯 he told it like it is humble,simple. I saw the vid a few years ago .great wisdom.
Much wisdom told by this simple, but great man. I had a family member that was a WWII vet, fought in Italy and then France and Germany. This man reminded me so much of him. Never complained, never bragged and rarely ever talked about his time in the war. Interestingly, when I asked him how he dealt with the fear of being KIA, he said basically the same thing as this man. There was always a bullet with your name on it and it was fired, it would find you.... thankfully, that bullet never found him. I think that may be why vets are so unassuming, they understand mortality better than most of us.
Incredible!!! They sure don't make men like this anymore. Thank you for you're service Mr.Overton. RIP
Brave and humble men, I always thank the veterans for their sacrifice.
A humble man who survived hard times. Mr Overton, we need more like you.
the simple part this man is talking about is respect for life and ones self
I'm the grandson of an Army WW2 veteran and also a Marine who served from 91-95. I learned so much from my grandfather until he passed when I was only 9yrs old. He made a big impact on my life.
These days have karens, fighting on color, race etc.
That man had a hard but good times.
A lot of respect from me those who serve their country 😇❤❤❤❤
This guy might teach young soldiers something about WWII Hell
Amazigh brother 💪🏼✌🏼
Jameson, you’re a good guy! I truly appreciated this vivid
I miss men like Mr Overton
@@JamesonsTravels absolutely! Don’t sweat the small stuff Marine, just have a cigar and be thankful!
This puts life in the proper perspective….. and there’s nothing like a cigar, a glass of whiskey, listening to the blues, dog by my side. Late at night and alone.
He is a True American🙏🙏. The way he acts, thinks and says is what we need now and days
"The wealthiest person
Is a pauper at times
Compared to the man
With a satisfied mind"
My grandma smoked for 30 years and died at 86, when she died stairway to Heaven was playing on the radio.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Ironic
How come she started smoking at nearly 60 years old?
Poor Single mom with five kids, smoking was a stress reliever.
By the O'Jays?
One really important point he makes - he never says he wants or wanted anything, he only has the things he needs. He's happy with that, and doesn't want anything fancy or expensive. As long as we have what we actually NEED we can be happy - all the trinkets and gadgets we think we "need" are actually just things we WANT. They are not actually needed.
The men of that generation are just so, so inspirational... when listening to them speak all you can do is sit quietly in awe and just listen 🙏
"I may give out but I never give up"
What a simple but inspirational quote. The human body is mortal but the human spirit is immortal if you choose for it to be.
Wow...what a man. My greatest respect.
Bless him. He lived in a very good place, of peace and harmony that he made for himself.... and his cats 😉❤
This channel is therapeutic. Some of these You Tube channels are an art
Haven't seen all the videos but Jameson became a little sentimental on this one. That's good. God bless!
This channel made me get up at 5 o clock in the morning without thinking "maybe a few more minutes if sleep before work". I have found that if you discipline yourself enough with those little things you get more effective at work and positive attitude the whole day.
"if you give up, you're through. You're just doubting yourself." Like iron, that statement will last forever.
That was absolutely beautiful and worth every second, just as every second of this mans happy life is worth remembering and learning from.
The heroism of men like this inspired me to serve with both honor and pride.
I've watched a lot of your videos, and took a lot out of each one and enjoyed them, but will say, in my opinion this is the best one yet. There's a ton of wisdom and perspective in this one!
Enjoyed watching the man speak. Reminds me of my grandfather. A ww2 vet
A damn good man. Rest in peace sir, and thank you for your service.
This youtube channel is awesome! I am a fellow vet and enjoy this video a lot 👍
Great video. Love Mr Overton.
I think a lot of the frugal attitude comes from living through the depression also, my parents were like that. Dad was a WW2 vet also, Canadian but had the same thoughts.
I got a lot of respect for guys like this. It's too bad there aren't enough of these guys around today. I had relatives in WW2 and got a lot from them.
What an amazing man, his positive attitude and outlook on life is probably why he has lived so long
This is absolutely beautiful. This man came from an era of true discrimination and he is nothing but thankful and happy. I honestly wish this man’s outlook on life was more common.
God bless those that served for those that couldn’t
Better Yet Those That Wouldn't!!!
Wow. I couldn’t help but get a little sentimental. My takeaway...be grateful. Appreciate all the good and and ugly. Seems like a tag like today. But I feel this fine gentleman has discovered the meaning of life. Appreciation. Happy Thanksgiving to all. Be safe.
The biggest thing I took away from this is be grateful. Don't complain, don't make excuses, enjoy life, go to church and know that there is something bigger than you. Be positive, have a good attitude, don't overendulge with possessions. If something works don't buy a new one. Be disciplined, wake up in the morning. Find something that makes you happy.
What if that something that makes you happy was taken away.
@@PrestonGarvey69 you got to find something that can't be taken away. You pretty much got to find that happiness within yourself.
I am a filipino and I love talking to my elders especially to my grandma who always shares her younger days when she was same age as mine. I love the way they lived before. The simplicity, practicality and the way they treat each other before.
Humility is a great virtue. love this dude
That was really pleasant to watch. Definitely a man who has seen a lot and willing to share his wisdom. Semper Fi
This is a great piece. You did an awesome job on this!
Thank you for posting! This was great!
Like my Dad who served in the Army and went to the Philippines during WWll, this gentleman lived through the Great Depression. That generation lived by the tradition of waste not want not. It was hero's like this that made me enlist.
Jameson Sir! Stop making me cry!
Goodmorning Jameson john 3:16
Special thanks to u. For posting this video I definitely needed a change in perspective. Thanks again brother!
Thanks for this. Great video and perspective. Great man.
What an amazing person. A real man. We need more like him.
Thanks for showing us this, I am Canadian and wish some of my family members were alive like my dads uncle.
Been watching some of your videos and I find them full of wisdom. You've got a new subscriber. Cheers mate.
Thanks for posting , made my day
Dad talks like that at times, he had his pants scarred off him a few time in his 28 years in the US military, nothing seems to bother him to much either anymore.
For some reason this really relaxed me in the mad world we're in today. Maybe I need to slow down a little
Thank you for sharing this! Definitely a great way to keep myself focused on what really matters!! I hope I can accomplish half of what this Hero did.
Inspirational, definitely adding this to a playlist so I can watch it during times I need it
Just woke up and this is the first video I watched. I think I'll watch it every morning from now on to help give myself a better perspective and outlook throughout my days. Super inspiring!
it depresses me that soon enough there won't be any more world war vets I can have a drink with and share stories with at the legion like I use to love to do on the regular
I’ve rewatched this video a ton of times, he truly is an inspiring man.
Amazing man. Thanks for this.
James looks like a hip young man compared to this guy.
aint that the truth
Damn wipper snapper!
Rest in peace Mr. Overton he seems like a good guy and I would be happy to be his grandkid because he has so much wisdom and life lessons I could learn a few things or two and just overall seems like a genuine person it’s like he cares for people around him he’s a selfless man and then I give him mad respect for it
Love seeing the joy, respect and love in your reactions to this. Dont see them much.
