For those who don't want to download an unknown file, here is a synopsis: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/07/us-army-demonstrations-washington-305913
TL:DR -- Woodrow Wilson awarded soldiers from WWI a "bonus" of $500 for their service, but it wasn't payable until 1945. Soldiers from around the country demonstrated in DC, demanding it be payable immediately.
