Route description

In 2024, the section of SR 129 along the ReilyMorgan township line from the Indiana state line to Chapel Road was designated in honor of Sgt. Anthony M. K. Vinnedge, near his hometown of Okeana. Vinnedge, a 24-year-old, 2001 graduate of Talawanda High School, was killed on July 5, 2007, in Iraq, while serving with Troop C, 2nd Squadron, 107th Armor Cavalry Regiment in the Ohio Army National Guard. Vinnedge enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2002, serving on active duty for three years, later serving in the Ohio Army National Guard as a Patriot Missile battery operator. During his second tour in Iraq, he was stationed at the Radwaniyah Palace Complex when he was killed. Vinnedge is buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Hamilton.{{cite news | url = https://www.daytondailynews.com/community/butler-county/fallen-butler-county-soldier-to-be-honored-in-his-hometown/CTTENUKEUNFFBCAXZCVRWAPKGI/ | title = Fallen Butler County soldier to be honored in his hometown | last = Pitman | first = Michael D. | newspaper = Dayton Daily News | date = December 23, 2024 | access-date = December 30, 2024 | url-status = live | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20241230135853/https://www.daytondailynews.com/community/butler-county/fallen-butler-county-soldier-to-be-honored-in-his-hometown/CTTENUKEUNFFBCAXZCVRWAPKGI/ | archive-date = December 30, 2024}}

Butler County Veterans Highway

Butler County Veterans Highway is signed as SR 129 and is a limited access highway from Hamilton to its terminus at Interstate 75. The highway was conceived in the early 1970s as a link to I-75 from Hamilton. At the time, Hamilton was the second largest city in the U.S. without a direct connection to an Interstate.[http://www.cincinnati-transit.net/butler.html Cincinnati Transit Net] The highway has had three names. The original name was the Butler County Regional Highway. Shortly after the highway was built, the highway was renamed the Michael A. Fox Highway in honor of an incumbent Butler County Commissioner and former state legislator. In 2004 the highway was renamed to the Butler County Veterans Highway.[http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2004/06/02/loc_loc1bfoxhi.html Cincinnati Enquirer June 2, 2004]
