Chapter 683: Tears of the Veterans

Before this economic crisis, Tom never thought he would participate in any protests. After all, his life was quite comfortable, with enough food and warm clothing, which already met Tom's basic needs.

But now that the economic crisis had occurred, Tom understood the gap between the lower classes like himself and the upper echelons of American society.

Although he could still barely survive, Tom had to figure out a way to improve the living conditions for himself and his family.

At least in Tom's view, petitioning the government to issue retirement allowances in advance seemed like a good choice.

After all, this was partly the reward he had earned for fighting for the United States and enduring the bumpy journey to combat in Europe.

Just asking the government for an advance on the retirement allowance, they should agree, right?

Tom did feel a bit uneasy inside, but after hearing John say that tens of thousands of veterans had been invited, Tom gradually became more at ease.
