Staff Sergeant Staehli was a member of Company L, 3rd Battalion, 9th Marines, 3rd Marine Division. On April 30, 1968, he was declared missing while fighting the enemy near Dong Ha, South Vietnam. His remains were not recovered. His name is inscribed on the Courts of the Missing at the Honolulu Memorial
=================
Bruce Staehli was a Marine in Vietnam when the fighting was intense. His Marine brothers at Khe Sanh had fought the Vietnamese in one of the bloodiest battles of the war earlier in the year, while the Marines at Hue were fighting the enemy in the streets. By April, the Marines at Khe
Sanh had finished operation Pegasus and had embarked on a series of missions called Scotland II to search and clear the area of enemy presence.
It was perhaps on such a mission that Bruce Staehli disappeared on April 30, 1968, near the city of Dong Ha, South Vietnam. Dong Ha is only a few miles from the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), and less than 30 miles northeast of Khe Sanh. Staehli is the only missing man from the action that day, and there is good reason to believe the enemy knows his fate. He may have been captured.
