An organization consisting of these people created the “Carville Star” program to disseminate research into leprosy. Harry Colmery allegedly jotted down the first draft of a legislation concerning these people on a napkin. These people benefitted from a so-called “club” in which they received 20 dollars a week for 52 weeks. The 85/15 rule capped funds for schools educating these people, leading to the creation of numerous “fly-by-night” colleges. Jim Webb championed a “post-9/11” legislation concerning these people, who were led by Walter Waters in a 1932 march on Washington, D.C. These people, who formed the American Legion, were the subject of the 1944 GI Bill. For 10 points, name these returning Americans who fought in the World Wars. ■END■
ANSWER: war veterans [accept World War I or World War II veterans; accept GIs until read; prompt on soldiers; prompt on Bonus Army by asking “what people made up the Bonus Army?”] (The organization in the first sentence is the Forty and Eight. The 1932 march is the Bonus Army.)
