Marie Hill of Easton, Kan., looks at the medals on a World War II uniform while shopping for her son at the Fort Leavenworth Historical Society's militaria show Feb. 3 at the Frontier Conference Center. Hill's son, who lives in Virginia, had given her a list of items he wanted for his collection. She said she was having a hard time finding them because those were the items many of the vendors wanted for their own collections. Lamp photo by Prudence Siebert.
