Is it a good thing to encourage low income kid's belief in Santa Claus? 'The United States Post Office has set up a website for what they’re calling Operation Santa'

Feel like being a saint this holiday season? Specifically Saint Nick? You can, by making a random low-income kid’s Christmas dreams come true. The United States Post Office has set up a website for what they’re calling Operation Santa and it’s one of the best Christmas charity ideas ever.

Today he would probably be shot down and imprisoned. Thomas Fitzpatrick, quite the pilot.

Thomas Fitzpatrick was born in New York City in 1930, possibly in the upper Manhattan neighborhood of Washington Heights. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps in the Pacific Theater of World War II, though where exactly in the Pacific isn’t known.

After he was honorably discharged from the Marines, instead of leaving the military life behind, Fitzpatrick joined the U.S. Army, where he served in the Korean War. Wounded during the fighting, he received a Purple Heart and finished out the war with the Army, eventually returning to civilian life after his term of service; though he was known to be a restless soul.

“Tommy had a crazy side,” said Fred Hartling, an old neighbor of Fitzpatrick’s who talked about the young pilot’s early antics in the New York Times. Hartling’s brother, Pat, was good friends with Fitzpatrick, and Hartling said the two were part of “a wild bunch” of friends.
