Buffalo Jills Military Tour

Eight Buffalo Jills Cheerleaders and their Choreographer left New York for Kuwait and Iraq on February 21st. They participated in a 12-day tour to visit and entertain the troops with a 1-hour variety show that included dancing, interactive games and prizes. They visited 23 bases, did 23 meet & greets, and 9 shows.


By all accounts, a good time was had, especially at FOB Warhorse.

Soldiers from Forward Operating Base Warhorse were told if
they didn't dance for the National Football League's Buffalo Bills'
cheerleaders, the Jills, the Jills would not perform their routine
for them. These Soldiers quickly jumped on stage to perform
the "Macarena" for the Jills. (U.S. Army photo by Spc. Ryan Stroud,

You can read more from the Buffalo Jills Trip Journal and view their Photo Gallery. Soldiers with additional pictures may e-mail them to info-AT-bills-DOT-nfl-DOT-com
