I’m sure some of you know who that is. But if not, I made that meme. The oldest living WWII veteran, a 112 years old, gun totin’ cigar smokin’ whisky drinkin’ stud:
"Overton gained media attention during the 2013 Memorial Day weekend when he told Fox News he would spend his Memorial Day ‘smoking cigars and drinking whiskey-stiffened coffee.’
Intel on Mr Overton:

GF page to keep him in his home:
Good for him!
The car in his driveway is older than me!
I can tell you for a certainty that Mr Overton likes Buffalo Trace Bourbon.
And a nice Fuente is appreciated as well. 
I met a 96 year old WWII vet two days ago. He was fit as a fiddle and we had a pleasant conversation. Very wise man, he was.
I hope he’s a local celeb in his town and never wants for his Bourbon, etc.
Trust me, he is. They renamed the street where he lives after him.
When I visited, there were several other folks there to pay their respects. We all had offerings to share. He was a very kind gentleman, and it was a pleasure and an honor to shake his hand and listen to him speak.
Excellent. I’d be more interested to meet him than any movie star, rock star, etc.
Yup, same here.
Sounds like a cool guy, hope he sticks around awhile. And with out thieves or anyone else screwing with him again.
Not sure what my eye to brain wiring was doing to it, but FINALLY after the first 2 or 3 times of seeing the headline my mind doesn’t skip to, “well crap, he passed away”.
Has good taste in hardware, too… that’s a late 1928A1 TSMG. Most of the way to an M1’s features, but still has top-cocking and the drum slots.
Noticed that too. Wonder if it’s a prewar model or a West Hurley.
Definitely not prewar, that setup of '28 didn’t show up until late '42 or '43 IIRC. It’s identical to the one a TCA member and SOT friend busted my full-auto cherry with. 
Could be a Westy, but I would not be surprised if it’s a bringback.
Personally I prefer the 1921AC and 1928AC “Chicago Typewriter” models, but I would not feel inadequate with any form of Da Choppa if well-made (read: “generally not West Hurley;” my friend’s three were an original pre-Cutts Colt '21A, an AO Bridgeport '28A1 and a Savage M1) and well-maintained.
Not an expert, but knew it obviously wasn’t a M1. I’m betting it’s a West. That said I’d do just about anything for a Colt Navy 21.
No expert here either, amigo, just a casual fan with owning one (wet-dream, one with USSS Presidential Protection Detail* provenance, hopefully a '28AC) on my Bucket List. Most of my interest was being steeped on old black-and-white “gangsters and g-men” movies thanks to my grandfather… the WWII bug only reinforced that.
*During the Blair House intrusion, the very first question out of the SAIC’s mouth was “Where’s my Thompson?” Any weapon that has guarded Presidents oughtta do for watching over my home and loved ones…

My father fought in Hue City where he picked up a Thompson SMG. He said that it was fantastic for room clearing- fire off a burst into a (occupied) room and then sit back, smoke a cigarette and wait for the rounds to stop bouncing around before going in.
