Among them will be 55 United States Marines from Bravo Company 8th Tank Battalion. This unit was largely composed of reservists from Western and Central New York who earned the distinction of being the first U.S. tank unit to cross the Tigris River into Iraq. The group included many die-hard Bills fans who took Bills hats, posters and other items with them on their mission and also scrawled “Bledsoe 11” on the turret of one of their tanks that they named after the Bills quarterback. During the time they were deployed, the group would e-mail back photos of themselves with their Bills gear to friends and family as well as the Bills
