the bonus army

 

vets were garenteed a bonus in 1945 for fighting in ww1

 

the vets marched to d.c. and they camped out

hoover welcomed them

the bill that was trying to get the vets payed was vetoed most of the vets stayed and protested

 

they had to bring in the military and used tear gas

 

it made hoover look even worse in the peoples eyes.

 

my project topic is ..... the National Youth Administration (NYA) and .... FDR's background
