Answer:

The veterans in the Bonus Army came to Washington because they wanted their war bonuses to be paid in 1932 instead of 1945.

Explanation:

The Bonus Army is the name of the meeting of approximately 31,000 World War I veterans, their families, and other supporters and groups. The demonstration took place in Washington during the spring and summer of 1932. They called for an immediate payment of the bonus, guaranteed in the Adjusted Service Certificate Act of 1924 for a payout in 1945. The veterans were led by Walter W. Waters, a former Army sergeant and supported by General Smedley Butler.

The protesters arrived on June 17 and awaited acceptance of a favorable law. After the dismiss of the bill, many left, but some others stayed in Washington. Police attacked those remaining protesters on July 28, killing two veterans and injuring many others.

Franklin D. Roosevelt hired the veterans to build roads (Overseas Highway). On September 2, a hurricane killed 259 veterans, who were working on the construction site. Due to the deaths, the Congress decided to grant the bonus for the 1936 election year. Roosevelt's veto was defeated and the bonus was a reality.

The major aftermath of the events was the G.I. Bill of Rights, adopted in 1944.
