I have heard that there is a group of veterans of WW1, who have been promised money after the war, and are being refused to get paid by President Hoover. What is that! I have heard these veterans, known as the Bonus Army, have marched into Washington and set up camps next to the White House to protest for the money they had been promised. Congress has refused to grant them the money and Hoover has ordered to have their hoovervilles destroyed! The veterans are being forced to leave and are not getting the money they had been promised. President Hoover has definitely lost all respect of the American People for rejecting and refusing to pay the men that risked their lives for their country in that war. This is something that has really angered me, and he still has the guts to call on the wealthy to volunteer by giving money and time to help those in need, but he can't even do that himself.
