EDITOR’S NOTE: Very few stories describe the American big heart and the true spirit of Christmas as the story of the American pilot, Gail Halvorsen, in post-war / cold-war Germany in 1948 who conceived of the idea of dropping packages of candy to the children a few days before Christmas… Enjoy the event in his honor in 2012 at Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert. Many thanks to one more anonymous member of our audience for bringing our attention to this wonderful story… Those of you interested in more information please watch an interview with Mr.Halvorsen after our main video…
