YONGSAN GARRISON — “After parents, it’s the educators, teachers, administrators and staff who have the biggest influence on our children,” U.S. Forces Korea Commander, Gen. James D. Thurman said, at the sixth annual Department of Defense Dependent Schools awards and recognition ceremony, April 6.
Thurman recounted how the three most influential people in his life were his father, his scout master, and his high school football coach.According to Thurman, these people had the biggest impact in developing his values in serving the country and teaching him about becoming a good citizen. He thus emphasized the significance that each of the roles, filled by the 66 DoDDS Korea staff members being recognized that day, had.
“What you do every day is so important - it’s the most important thing we’ve got going on here on the peninsula, outside of defending this place,” Thurman said.
In the midst of an uncertain period, Thurman explained that it was especially important that the people who strongly influenced future generations were doing a good job in educating the younger members of the community. Thurman presented each of the 66 DoDDs Korea staff members with scrolls of appreciation, on behalf of USFK.
Staff members included teachers, counselors, secretaries, technicians, librarians and administrators.
Sixteen were recognized for serving DoDDs for over 20 years.
Some of the honorees had four decades of service.
Laurel Eisinger, principal of Daegu American School, who has served DoDDs for 30 years, said she had worked through multiple positions within DoDDs, including the district level, area level and administrative level.
Having invested a significant amount of time in the profession, Eisinger said, “I believe right from the bottom of my heart that effective educators help children to be the successful leaders of tomorrow.”
After being in the profession and meeting many other teachers, however, she said, “I don’t think there’s an educator that doesn’t take this job whose goal isn’t to make a difference.”
While Eisinger is convinced that effective educators are crucial for impacting future generations, she also stated that it’s not just the doing of educators.
Rather, she added, it is a task that is performed by the whole community.

Over 150 people, residents, educators, government officials and more gathered to Stand Against Racism at the Jay Heritage Center including Westchester County Legislature Chairman Ken Jenkins, NY State Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins, Sen. Suzi Oppenheimer, YWCA White Plains Board Chair Patricia Mulqueen and CEO Maria Imperiale, and JHC President Suzanne Clary.
The event opened with a breakfast and talk by Sana Butler, author of the book “Sugar of the Crop: My Journey to Find the Children of Slaves.”
Butler is a freelance reporter and special correspondent with Newsweek International. The site of this important social and cultural event took on even greater meaning as it was held at the boyhood home of John Jay, a leader in the anti-slavery movement of the 18th and 19th centuries.
The entire audience joined in the Stand Against Racism pledge – a commitment to “a lifetime of promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all people in our community and our world.”
Following the very moving program, visitors were given tours of the Jay home in Rye and told about the enslaved men and women that lived, worked and were buried there. They learned about recent archaeological and research finds that will aid continued interpretation of the African American history of this important NY heritage site including the discovery of an 18th century structure that may have housed servants. Educators in attendance were impressed by the active investigation being done to trace the families of people enslaved by the Jay family.
The Jay Heritage Center is one of 13 sites on Westchester County's African American Heritage Trail. The Jay Property in Rye is a historic site where enslaved families are known to have lived and worked in the fields and gardens and where they were also emancipated by the Jay family and buried on the same land as their owners.

"It is much to be wished that slavery may be abolished. The honour of the States, as well as justice and humanity, in my opinion, loudly call upon them to emancipate these unhappy people. To contend for our own liberty, and to deny that blessing to others, involves an inconsistency not to be excused." John Jay 1786
JHC programs examine the prevalence of slavery in New York and the role of John Jay and his family in abolishing it. It has been estimated that ironically in 1776 as of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, there were over half a million enslaved individuals in the United States, throughout all 13 colonies, including 15,000 in New York.
Among its goals, the JHC hopes to be "a national focal point for a continuing conversation about the two greatest pieces of unfinished American business--race and land; meaning how we treat each other and how we treat the rest of God's creation." Tony Hiss
