Veteran, what you describe as protests sounds like the Bonus March of 1932. The bonus marchers were WWI veterans who peacefully appealed to have their bonuses for WWI service paid early to help them survive the Depression. For their trouble, their camp was raided and destroyed by the army led by egomaniacal jackasses Douglas MacArthur and George S. Patton at their worst. Your grandmother and her neighbors are my kind of Americans.
