The 129th is notable for its service in World War I with its D Battery under the command of then-Captain Harry S. Truman, later President of the United States (1945–53). In recognition of this fact, this unit has the official designation "Truman's Own." The distinction of having had a battery that was commanded by a future U.S. President is also recognized by the presence of a battery designated "D", being the letter assigned to the battery Truman commanded, in lieu of a C Battery.
