There are quite a few companies who attend Best Ranger to show support (they donate heavily to the event) and to promote their products. Soldiers love the corporate freebies, which include sunglasses, hats and other apparel. This Blackhawk bus (not to be confused with Blackwater) was the attention-getter.
