Bonus Seekers Say Farewell
The bonus army said farewell to Washington at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. By tomorrow morning one third of the veterans will be on the road home, the rest joining the forestry corps. Many are disappointed, some bitter, as they depart without payment of the adjusted service certificates. Congress shows resistance to immediate payments, and President Roosevelt signaled a veto if needed. Reminders of the 1932 protest linger at Arlington, where 1,000 marchers paid respects to slain bonus marchers. Police presence was light as authorities anticipated a calmer exit from the city.
