EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful and poignant photograph, taken on July 1932, the Stars and Stripes flag of the Bonus Army flutters proudly in the wind above the ruins of their general headquarters as police officers forcibly evict the veterans from the building. The Bonus Army, composed of World War I veterans, had assembled in Washington D.C. to demand early payment of their bonuses, promised to them but not yet received due to the economic hardships of the Great Depression. The scene depicted in this image is a testament to the intense conflict that unfolded between the veterans and the government. The veterans, who had been camped in Anacostia Flats since May 1932, had been given an ultimatum to leave the area by President Hoover. When they refused, the U.S. Army and the District of Columbia National Guard were called in to clear the encampment. The photograph captures the moment of the final confrontation between the police and the veterans, as the latter cling to their cause and their flag, even as they are being evicted from their headquarters. The flag, a symbol of their patriotism and their commitment to their country, remains a beacon of hope amidst the chaos and destruction. This historical image offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history, when the sacrifices and struggles of veterans were brought to the forefront of national attention. The Bonus Army protest marked a turning point in the way that the government addressed the needs of its veterans and set the stage for the New Deal policies that would follow. The photograph serves as a reminder of the power of collective action and the enduring spirit of those who have served their country.
