Richard Arvine Overton

(AP) – Born in Bastrop County, Texas, in 1906, by the time Richard 
Overton celebrated his 109th birthday on May 11 of this year, he had
already gotten used to his celebrity as America’s oldest living combat
veteran.

Having served in the Pacific theater during World War II from 1942 to
1945, Overton was part of the all-black 1887th Engineer Aviation
Battalion, fighting in places like Iwo Jima and Okinawa. He says 
while he saw his share of enemy fire, “I didn’t get a scratch.” He
left the service after attaining the rank of Sergeant. 

As an ambassador for the memory of those who served, Overton has
proven himself exemplary. In that role, the Austin, Texas, native has
been regularly praised by politicians of both parties, many of whom
have come to pay tribute to him and listen to his stories of war. 

When he was the Governor of Texas, Rick Perry (below) met with
Overton on Memorial Day in 2013. 

Anne Meara (September 20, 1929 – May 23, 2015)

LOS ANGELES (AP) –  Actress and comedian Anne Meara, whose comic
work with husband Jerry Stiller helped launch a 60-year career in film and
TV, has died.

Jerry Stiller and son Ben Stiller say Meara died Saturday. No other details
were provided.

The Empire Strikes Back, the second release in the Star Wars franchise, received
mixed reviews from critics initially but has since grown in esteem, becoming the
most critically acclaimed chapter in the Star Wars saga; it is now considered one
of the greatest films ever made. It became the highest-grossing film of 1980 and,
to date, has earned more than $538 million worldwide from its original run and
several re-releases. When adjusted for inflation, it is the 12th-highest-grossing
film in North America.

(AP) – KFC is bringing back Colonel Sanders as the fried chicken chain seeks
to refresh its image by harkening back to its past.

Sanders, who founded KFC, will be played by "Saturday Night Live" alumnus
Darrell Hammond (above) in TV commercials. The real Colonel Harland Sanders
(below) died nearly 35 years ago, and KFC hasn’t featured him in TV ads for
about 20 years.

KFC also plans to redesign its restaurants with light fixtures shaped like chicken
buckets and quotes from Colonel Sanders hanging on the wall.
