Great news. I sure hope the thief didn't realize he was stealing it from a 110 year old veteran. I mean, obviously, it's not OK to do to anyone, but to do to this guy? Disgusting.

I am relieved to read this on multiple levels.  I'm thankful that the money was returned and he will get the care he needs.  But I am genuinely scared to click on this thread when I see it bumped as I fear it may be a member sharing news of his passing.  It makes me incredibly happy to hear Mr. Overton was able to enjoy another Independence Day and to do so without worry.  I'm sure he enjoyed some good whiskey and a few cigars.
