John "Country" Korsbeck, RP 17, was active in the
SOA (Special Operations Association) as well as
the 281 AHC Association, and attended as many
reunions as he could. In spite of several
significant medical issues in the last few years,
he kept up an almost daily stream of email jokes,
cartoons, stories, and etc. to his friends, and
never gave up the search to locate his old Platoon
Leader from the 281st, LT. Dan (Ace) Miller. John
is and will be missed by members of the 281 AHC
Association.
