Ohio State Route 129
 State Route 129 (SR 129) is an east–west highway in southwest Ohio running from its western terminus at SR 126 and Indiana State Road 252, just east of the Indiana–Ohio state line near Scipio, Ohio. Its eastern terminus is east of Interstate 75 (I-75) at Cox Road in Liberty Township. The route's eastern terminus was historically at SR 747 until 1999 when the route was moved south 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) to the newly built Butler County Veterans Highway. Route descriptionIn 2024, the section of SR 129 along the Reily–Morgan 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.[2] Butler County Veterans HighwayButler 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.[3] 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.[4] Major intersectionsThe entire route is in Butler County.
