These brave individuals, all World War I veterans seeking their long-awaited bonuses, are on a momentous journey to Washington, D. C. , where they hope to make their voices heard. Led by their commander-in-chief George Alman, a former Oregon lumberjack who himself was part of the last bonus army, these men have come together with unwavering resolve. As they receive their final instructions before embarking on this historic march, one can sense both anticipation and determination emanating from each face. The American flag proudly waves above them as a symbol of unity and patriotism. It serves as a reminder that these courageous individuals fought for their country and now seek what is rightfully theirs.
