A Santa Claus from Dutchess County and a Marine veteran are giving back this holiday season.

Keith O'Hanlon, 59 of Pleasant Valley, has been dressing up as jolly old Saint Nick for the past four years. He has been donating the proceeds of his appearances to help local veterans in need.

O'Hanlon served with the Marines as a helicopter technician and flight mechanic.

He has raised hundreds of dollars for the Hudson Valley Veterans Alliance.
