Lt. Col. Garrett Gingrich, commander of the 1st Battalion, 133d Infantry, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 34th Infantry Division, Iowa Army National Guard, thanks Cedar Falls Mayor Rob Green for declaring July 11 ‘Ironman Battalion Day’ during a city council meeting in Cedar Falls, Iowa, on July 18, 2022. The declaration is a tradition that began in 2020, when several members of the 1-113d deployed to Qatar. It has been recognized annually since, and the mayors of nearby Waterloo and Waverly worked together to make it happen.
