Please keep BOTL Richard Overton in your prayers.
AUSTIN (KXAN) — WWII veteran and longtime Austinite Richard Overton is in the hospital with pneumonia, his family said.
The 112-year-old is the oldest living veteran in the United States and celebrated his latest birthday in May.
His cousin, Volma Overton Jr., said Richard went to the hospital Wednesday with pneumonia and has not been able to leave.
"He needs everybody's prayers," Volma Overton Jr. said, adding that last time Overton was hospitalized in August, everyone's prayers worked.
