World War I is one of the worst conflicts in the history of the world. The servicemembers who fought during this war were guaranteed a bonus pension, yet never received it. Deciding to protest this violation, they encamped on the Anacostia flats and demonstrated on the National Mall. Join Ranger Jim at Greenbelt Park to learn about how these servicemembers exercised their rights and gained what was rightfully theirs.
The Campfire Program will be held at the Campfire Circle in Loop B. Please follow the signage upon arrival to the park, and you will park in the campground.
For more information, please call 771-208-1588
