Private First Class Jerele can now rest in peace at home.
A member of the 192nd Tank Battalion, the first US unit to engage in tank warfare during WWII, his remains were finally identified after 80 years.
In honor of his service, flags will be lowered today from dawn to dusk.
I could not be more confident in Major General Rodney Boyd's leadership as he assumes command of the @IL_Natl_Guard.
A son of the South Side, he brings 38 years of military experience to the role with service in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Kuwait.
Thank you for answering the call.
Today, at my direction, U.S. military forces struck targets in Iraq and Syria that the IRGC and affiliated militia use to attack U.S. forces.
We do not seek conflict in the Middle East or anywhere else in the world.
But to all those who seek to do us harm: We will respond.
Today, we send over 300 of Illinois' best from the @IL_Natl_Guard overseas to serve our state and nation.
To the members of the 34th Division Sustainment Brigade and 433rd Signal Company: know that we are all thinking of and praying for you every day until your safe return.
Former Philippine Senator Leila de Lima's eloquent words upon release about defending democracy and truth amid repression are an inspiration. Her story as well as 7 years of calling for her release remind us that we have a power and a duty to speak out against injustice.

Despite winds up to 80 mph this weekend, severe weather didn't stop a @USArmyOldGuard Soldier from continuing the unit's mission to stand watch over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at @ArlingtonNatl – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
