Col. William H "Bill" Laseter passed away at the age of 94 on February 10, 2012.  His wife, Janie Elizabeth Laseter, passed away at age 91 on July 1, 2013.  They were married for almost 70 years and served 34 years in the USAF.  Their cremated remains are to be inurned together at DFW National Cemetery on 07/26/2013.  Our family felt that BOTH of them deserve military honors for their service.  Bill was always one of the senior commanders wherever they were stationed.  Janie was very active in Family Services and tended to the needs of the other wives and children while the men were on TDY.
The role of the military spouse is often underrated, but she worked as hard to fulfill her responsibilities and commitments as Bill did to be the best pilot and commander that he could be.
