Remains Of Berkeley Soldier Who Died In WWII Identified

Harry Jerele served in the Illinois Army National Guard’s Company B, 192nd Tank Battalion

By BARBARA WILSON Illinois National Guard Public Affairs

Rosemary Dillon, of Chicago, was about five years old when her Uncle Harry, who was serving in the Illinois Army National Guard’s Company B, 192nd Tank Battalion, was activated for federal service, arriving in the Philippines just days before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and the next day, the Philippines.

On Oct. 4, nearly 83 years after the start of World War II, Dillon’s Uncle Harry, Pfc. Harry Jerele, will be buried with full military honors at the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery, Elwood. “This is a miracle,” said Dillon, Jerele’s primary next of kin, about the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency’s (DPAA) accounting for Jerele’s remains. “We’ve been trying for about 10 years to positively identify his remains. It’s been a long time coming. What a joyous occasion it will be when he is finally laid to rest in his home country.”

Local and state elected officials along with Housing Forward representatives cut the ribbon on the nonprofit’s Broadview Legacy Apartments in Broadview on April 25. The 16-unit, three-story building cost $7.8 million.

Senior citizen exemptions help give homeowners a break on big tax bills

Senior citizens can get a break on their property tax bills, but they need to apply when seeking savings for the first time.

The popular tax break is known as the Senior Citizen Homestead Exemption. For homeowners already receiving the break, Senior Citizen Homestead Exemptions are automatically renewed for properties that were not sold to new owners in the last year.

MARIA PAPPAS

you are not receiving a Senior Citizen Homestead Exemption and you are entitled to one, click on the link that says, “Apply for a missing exemption.” Typically, you can apply for refunds for missed exemptions going back four years. However, due to the pandemic, some Second Installment due dates were delayed until later in the year.

Homeowners applying for Senior Citizen Homestead Exemptions for the first time are eligible if they are 65 years of age or older and own and occupy their property as their principal place of residence. If a married couple jointly own a home, they are eligible when the older partner is 65.

To receive the Senior Citizen Homestead Exemption, the applicant must have owned and occupied the property as of Jan. 1 and must have been 65 years of age or older during the tax year in question.

That means many homeowners who turned 65 in 2022 are now eligible for the tax break for the first time. They should apply now so the Senior Citizen Homestead Exemption savings can be reflected on their 2023 Second Installment tax bills, which are expected to be due Aug. 1. The deadline to apply for exemptions on 2023 tax bills is April 29.

To apply, visit cookcountytreasurer.com to check the exemptions you are receiving. Go to the purple box labeled Your Property Tax Overview. Use your address or 14-digit Property Index Number (PIN) to search. If results show that

This means that at the moment you can actually redeem missed Senior Citizen Homestead Exemptions for five tax years: 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018. You should allow at least six weeks for your refund application to be processed.

Dollar amounts of refunds vary depending on tax rates and other factors. Each year that a Senior Citizen Homestead Exemption was missed could mean a refund of several hundred dollars or more.

Bernice Ward of Chicago’s Austin neighborhood was a recent guest on my “Black Houses Matter” radio show on WVON-AM 1690. Ward, 71, raised four children as a single mother and drove a CTA bus for 15 years, among other jobs.

Ward called in last September when my office held an All Houses Matter phone bank with ABC7. That’s when she learned about the Senior Citizen Homestead Exemption. We helped her apply for her refund.

“They gave me information I wasn’t aware of,” Ward said. “I was so happy.”

Ward told me she planned to invest her refund into improving her home’s curb appeal. “I want a new security door, I want my porch painted,” she said. “I’ve been here quite a while. It’s home to me.”

room units and four two-bedroom units for families. The project cost $7.8 million and was funded through a mix of state, federal and private sources, including the Illinois Housing Development Authority, the Cook County Department of Planning, and the West Cook Coalition - Illinois Healthcare Transformation Collaborative.

In a statement, Housing Forward officials said their new Permanent Supportive Housing facility is “tailored to individuals and families exiting homelessness, including dedicated accommodations for veterans, transition-age youth, and families.”

“We’re delighted to greet the newest members of Broadview Legacy Apartments,” said Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson. “As champions of inclusivity, this building represents more than just Broadview; it serves as a model for other communities, ensuring that

everyone has a place to belong.”

Housing Forward officials said the goal of Permanent Supportive Housing is to help people “who have a history of homelessness, long-term physical and mental disabilities, or serious health conditions find stability and independence. This program combines permanent affordable housing with flexible, voluntary support services to assist with housing retention.”

Housing Forward has provided Permanent Supportive Housing since 2006. Nonprofit officials said last year they helped 330 people find apartments in west suburban Cook County.

The Broadview Legacy Apartments will “offer onsite support services that will help residents transition from housing crisis to stability. These support services are designed to build independent living and tenancy skills and connect people with communitybased health care, treatment, and employment services.”

Housing Forward officials said the nonprofit is partnering with Youth Outreach Services and Ascension “to provide services that address individual needs and help each person achieve their goals.”

HARRY JERELE

Once missing, now found from page 1

DPAA announced April 18 that the remains of U.S. Army Pfc. Harry Jerele, 26, of Berkeley, Illinois, were identified Dec. 20, using anthropological analysis, as well as circumstantial evidence. Additionally, scientists from the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System used mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis.

Jerele was an Illinois National Guard Soldier who was deployed to the Philippines with the rest of the Guard’s 192nd Tank Battalion before Pearl Harbor. He was part of the first U.S. Army Soldiers to engage the enemy in tank warfare in World War II. After the unit was forced to surrender several months later, its Soldiers were the longest serving U.S. POWs in World War II and many were part of the Bataan Death March and the Japanese POW Hell Ships.

“The story of the 192nd Tank Battalion is both extraordinarily heroic and horrific.”

JB PRITZKER

Illinois Governor

“On behalf of the State of Illinois, I want to thank all those involved in bringing Harry Jerele home to his family in Illinois,”

Governor JB Pritzker said. “The epic tale of Maywood’s B Company, 192nd Tank Battalion lives on thanks to many who have never forgotten what these Illinois Soldiers sacrificed for their nation.”

“The story of the 192nd Tank Battalion is both extraordinarily heroic and horrific. More than 80 years later we continue to draw inspiration from Private First Class Harry Jerele and the rest of the 192nd,” said Maj. Gen. Rich Neely, the Adjutant General of Illinois and Commander of the Illinois National Guard. “I applaud the continuous efforts of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency to identify and return the remains of our heroes. I pray this finally brings some closure to the Jerele family.”

Dillon said she remembers her uncle as a very quiet man whom she saw on weekends.

“He liked to sing and play guitar,” she said. “He was an unassuming man, but he had great friends who joined up with him.”

Dillon said the only thing which makes this homecoming bittersweet is her mother and grandmother, Jerele’s sister and mother, are no longer alive to welcome him home.

“It’s a great feeling to finally accomplish

this identification,” Dillon said. “I only wish my mother and grandmother were here to witness his homecoming.”

Dillon says she can’t say enough about DPAA’s important work in identifying remains of missing service members.

“It is of utmost importance their work continues,” she said. “Years ago, DPAA had to rely on little things that were found with the remains, like dog tags, to help with the identification. Oftentimes, it left families with no real ending. Now that DNA is used, it’s amazing. I’m so glad my family and I decided to give DNA samples. It definitely gives us closure.”

In the summer of 1941, Jerele was a member of the Illinois Army National Guard’s Company B, 192nd Tank Battalion, when Japanese forces invaded the Philippine Islands in December. Intense fighting continued

1, 1916, in Clinton, Iowa. After leaving Iowa, his family moved to Maywood, Melrose Park, Bellwood, and finally Berkley, Illinois. Since his father was an employee of the Chicago & North Western Railroad, his family was allowed to live in a house that sat on railroad property at the intersection of St. Charles and Wolf Roads.

Jerele enlisted in the Illinois Army National Guard and became a member of the 33rd Tank Company based in Maywood. The unit was redesignated as Company B, 192nd Tank Battalion on Sept. 1, 1940.

Company B, 192nd Tank Battalion, included 104 Soldiers from Illinois. The unit experienced 43 casualties during World War II, including 28 who died from diseases, illnesses, and wounds. Seven were killed when aboard various Japanese POW ships, called “Hell ships” by U.S. troops, which sank. Eight were killed in action, and five were declared missing in action.

Headquarters Company, 192nd Tank Battalion, included 31 Soldiers from the Illinois Army National Guard, of which 19 died due to diseases, illness, and wounds, one died aboard a Japanese ship, and one killed in action. The men of Company B, 192nd Tank Battalion, many from Maywood, were mostly kids from the same high school. In 1940, a federal draft act had passed, and they knew that it was just a matter of time before they would be drafted into the Army. Having heard that the federal government was going to federalize National Guard units for a period of one year of military service, these men decided to join the National Guard to fulfill their military obligation.

until the surrender of the Bataan peninsula on April 9, 1942, and of Corregidor Island on May 6, 1942. The 192nd Tank Battalion was made up of Company A from Janesville, Wisconsin, Company B from Maywood, Illinois, Company C from Port Clinton, Ohio, and Company D from Harrodsburg, Kentucky. The unit’s headquarters company was also based in Maywood, Illinois.

Thousands of U.S. and Filipino service members were captured and interned at POW camps. Jerele was among those reported captured when U.S. forces in Bataan surrendered to the Japanese. They were subjected to the 65-mile Bataan Death March and then held at the Cabanatuan POW camp. More than 2,500 POWs perished in this camp during the war.

Jerele was one of seven children born to Leopold Jerle and Mary Flori-Jerele on Feb.

Arriving in the Philippine Islands at Manila on Thanksgiving Day, Company B had barely settled in at Clark Field when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor days later. A mere 10 hours after the enemy raid at Pearl Harbor, the Japanese followed with a surprise attack at Clark Field. The attack wiped out the American Army Air Corps, and the first member of the battalion was killed during the attack.

At Lingayen Gulf on Dec. 22, 1941, a platoon of the battalion’s tanks engaged enemy tanks for the first time in World War II. Another Soldier died during the engagement and four other Soldier in the battalion became Prisoners of War. A little under two weeks later, another platoon of 192nd tanks would engage and destroy a platoon of Japanese tanks. For the next few weeks, the members of the battalion fell back toward the Bataan Peninsula with the other Filipino and American troops. At Plaridel, the tankers fought a frantic battle against the Japanese. As they fell back, they were constantly strafed and shelled. Since they had no air force, enemy planes could destroy the tanks at will.
