Bonus army
The army marchers, specifically the Bonus Army, were a group of World War I veterans who marched to Washington, D.C., in 1932 to demand early payment of a bonus that had been promised to them. They were not paid during their march, and the government refused their demands. It wasn't until 1936, after the march and the subsequent public outcry, that Congress passed a bill to pay the veterans their bonuses, but by then the Bonus Army had largely dispersed.
The Bonus Army wanted their military bonus early.
The Federal Reserve refused to pay veterans their bonuses.
