July 1932
So I heard in the radio that Veteran’s of WWI went to the White House to protest because the congress didn’t want to grant them the money they were promised after the war.
They set up Hooverville camps next to the White House and protested for a long time.
I was extremely shocked when I read in the newspaper that President Hoover sent an army and started kicking them out the White House territory. Why would he do that? Sending an army? Destroying all the Hooverville camps? Has he gone mad?
They deserve to get all of what they were promised and not just part of it. They have families to support. They shouldn’t of been treated like they were because they fought for their country.
Many young male adults are asked to volunteer and helping out with the war. As great, they are
