When President Hoover ordered that the Bonus Army be dispersed in 1932, his public image was damaged. Hoover ordered that WW1 veterans, who were protesting outside federal buildings in Washington, DC be removed by soldiers of the Army. These protesting veterans were called the Bonus Army because they wanted immediate cash redemption for their service certificates. In 1924, Congress voted to give a bonus to WW1 veterans, but they needed to wait until 1945 to collect these bonuses. However, due to the Depression, many veterans were unemployed and so wanted their bonuses early.
