breana- field notes on army veterans


After being promise a dollar a day for their services in War World I the U.S veterans took action. During the great depression, in 1932 the veterans wanted their bonus they felt they helped the U.S during a war, and the U.S should help during time of need. This demanding turned into a violence outbreak because veterans felt they were being taking advantage of. This took place in Washington D.C right in front of the national capital. The Veterans army is taking this very hard they have lost jobs and now are demanding they get what they were promised.



In 1932 during the great Depression, the army veterans were fighting for what they wanted and needed. What they wanted was to get their promised bonus after fighting war world I.
