Question

Why did veterans protest in Washington, D.C.?

Answer 1

They were demanding better health care from the government.

Answer 2

In May 1932, jobless WWI veterans organized a group called the “Bonus Expeditionary Forces” (BEF) to march on Washington, DC. Suffering and desperate, the BEF's goal was to get the bonus payment now, when they really needed the money.
