The Bonus Army was routed in 1933.
They were WWI soldiers wanting their pensions paid earlier.
For extra fun, look and see which officers were in charge of the Bonus Army.
What is forgotten about the Bonus March is that the vets got what they wanted; their $600 bonus was paid ten years ahead of schedule, in 1935.
My grandfather used his to make down payment on a house.
What’s even less known was that the bill to pay the bonus early was vetoed TWICE by the `great humanitarian’ FDR, who got overridden by Congress.
