Bonus army is what my assigned blog is over.
The bonus army was a march that was around 17,000 veterans and 26,000 other people. world war l veterans who marched in Washington D.C. in the summer of 1932 and there families marched to. also the affiliated groups They went on a march because they were told that they could no cash in there service certificates until the year of 1945. Which then made all of the veterans upset because they needed money but had to wait another thirteen years. There was also close to 69 police guys injured and for the veterans there were 4 dead and around 1,000 veterans injured.
The March was led by Walter W. Waters who was a former Sergent in the U.S army. Almost all of the war veterans had not been working since the great depression which is not a good thing. Many of the veterans got there shelters burned when they had went on the march.
There was also a smaller bonus March that happened in 1933 which was at the beginning of the Roosevelt Administration.
I think that this was a good thing that they did because they were not getting money fast enough which was not fair so they had the right but to bad people were killed during it which is very sad.
