Diana Laskey comes from a lifelong history of being associated with the military in one way or another, which helps to fuel her passion she has for assisting those within the military community.

While she was serving in Korea, she met her husband and they have now been married 24 years. Diana served her four years and separated so she could devote her time to going to school and raising their 4 girls. It has been her dream to be able to give back to the military community.
