Entry Five: Bonus Army And Volunteerism

July, 1932
     
Dear Diary, 
Lately there has been talk that many of Vertians from World War I were going to march to President Hoover. To get so of the money that they need to get back for fighting the war. I've heard that things got ugly and people were fighting since they didn't get the money that they had deserve. The verterians had   got mad becasue they didn't get the money but then President Hoover than sent the police/ army to get the Bonus Army out and to leave Washington. President Hoover blamed the wealthy people for the miscommunication since he was ask them to volunteerism. They could donate money and give the poor people money or give them jobs. But they couldn't want to do it, but President Hoover is only making excuses.
