In 2004, Hillsdale County residents donated a surplus of athletic equipment which was sent to Iraq.  Called "Operation Sandlot", the drive was spearheaded by John & Jan Major of Hillsdale.  WCSR was involved in spreading the word, getting listeners to donate.  All items were shipped courtesy of American Copper & Brass of Hillsdale.  Benefiting from the goods are the Marine Wing Support Squadron 374, Marine Wing Support Group 37, and 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing.  Here are some pictures that were e-mailed to us.
