Bonus Army

Bonus Army adalah nama untuk sekelompok dari sekitar 43,000 pengunjuk rasa—17,000 veteran Perang Dunia I AS, keluarga mereka, dan kelompok yang berafiliasi—yang berkumpul di Washington, D.C. pada musim panas 1932 untuk meminta tebusan bayaran tunai dari sertifikat jasa mereka. Para penyelenggara menyebut para pengunjuk rasa tersebut dengan sebutan "Bonus Expeditionary Force", yang merujuk kepada plesetan nama dari American Expeditionary Forces pada Perang Dunia I, sementara media menyebut mereka "Bonus Army" atau "Bonus Marchers". Kelompok tersebut dipimpin oleh Walter W. Waters, seorang mantan sersan.
