Mexican Border Veterans Org?

I have never heard of a veteran's organization specifically for those who served on the Mexican Border, and then I stumbled on this hat at an estate sale.

 

Walter Mengel was a 1st Sgt. in the First Iowa Field Artillery, according to a 1918 roster, which jibes with this hat.

 

The Iowa Briagade trained at Camp Dodge and then was deployed at the Mexican Border in 1916. I believe this hat represents a veteran in Battery B, 1st Iowa Field Artillery.
