Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
Official Military Personnel Files (OMPFs) and individual medical reports for men of the U.S. Army who were separated from the service prior to 1955 are in the custody of NARA's National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis. In many cases where personnel records were destroyed in the 1973 fire, proof of service can be provided from other records such as morning reports, payrolls, and military orders, and a certificate of military service will be issued. Please complete a GSA Standard Form 180 and mail it to NARA's National Personnel Records Center, (Military Personnel Records), 1 Archives Drive, St. Louis, MO 63138-1002.
We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is the depository of the permanently valuable non-current records of the Federal Government. Our mission is to preserve the records and make them available to the public. When this file was transferred to the legal custody of the National Archives, we may not add to, subtract from, or change in any way the contents of official records of the U.S. government.
Due to the fire, the National Archives at St. Louis (RL -SL) may make an exception. Please contact them via email at stl.archives@nara.gov.

Re: Seeking Military Records of Father
Keith Beaulieu Nov 15, 2020 1:01 AM (in response to potatoebob)Hi Robert,
I am doing research into Camp Haan. While I haven't come across anything from September-December of 1942 that has any names on it, I keep on the lookout if I happen to come across rosters or something. I would like to see the pic of your dad at Camp Haan. Was he in anti-aircraft artillery?
If you have any other questions about Camp Haan, I'll take a stab at it.
Regards,
Keith
