World War II saw an explosion of new military forts across the US.  Utah became home to both new bases and the increased population of already existing ones.  As more and more men entered the military and were sent far from home, the post exchange marketed trinkets and mementoes for them to send to their mothers, wives, and sweethearts.  These became cherished tokens as they were a link to their men away at war.  This pillow sham is an example of these treasured talismans.
At the height of its population, how many soldiers were stationed at Camp Kearns?
