Mario Puratić
Mario Puretic (1917, born in Croatia in the town of Sumartin on the island of Brac), revolutionarized the technology of pulling out fishing nets from the sea by his construction of what is now known as the Puretic Power Block in 1950s. Until then fishing nets had to be manually drawn by eight to ten people, which was an extremely difficult job. The Marco Seattle company developed Puretic's idea, and it soon became a standard mean of fishing in the whole world. In 1975 the United States Patent Office conferred him a special recognition for his patent which revolutionarized the fishing technology worldwide. He was elected among hundred greatest inventors of the 20th century in the USA.

In 1972 the National Bank of Canada issued a new series of 5 dollar banknotes with the Puretic Power Block on a fishing boat drawn on the reverse side! See here:
When Mario Puretic died, his remains were brought from the USA to his native town of Sumartin in 1994. He was an honorary citizen of many countries, including Island (many thanks to Ms Nena Kazulin, USA, for this information).

Louis Cukela (Vjekoslav Lujo Čukela)
Jedan, od ukupno samo 19 vojnika, koji su dva puta odlikovani sa "Medal of Honor"
Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Cukela
Hrvatski emigranti na različite su načine i na gotovo svim poljima pridonijeli razvoju i napretku Sjedinjenih Američkih Država. Među ostalim kao hrabri ratnici istaknuli su se i u američkoj vojsci, za što su odlikovani i najvišim američkim odličjem, Kongresnom medaljom časti. U gotovo stoljeće i pol, koliko je prošlo otkako je to odličje utemeljeno, među tek malo manje od 3 500 odlikovanih bila su i 22 pripadnika američke vojske, za koje se sa sigurnošću zna da su hrvatskog podrijetla. Iako je najpoznatiji i u američkim medijima vjerojatno najčešće spominjaninositelj Medalje časti junak Pearl Harbora Petar Tomić, ništa manje slavan nije bio ni Vjekoslav Lujo Cukela, koji je umro 19. ožujka 1956. Bio je jedan od najodlikovanijih američkih vojnika, a Medalju časti zaslužio je čak dvaput. Što to znači, najbolje pokazuje podatak prema kojemu je u povijesti SAD-a samo 19 pripadnika oružanih snaga dobila dvije takve medalje.
Taj junak hrvatskog podrijetla rođen je 1888. u Splitu kao Vjekoslav Lujo Čukela. Školovao se u Splitu, a u Sjedinjene Države emigrirao je 1913. Ondje je odslužio vojsku, a kada je SAD ušao u Prvi svjetski rat, priključio se marincima. Ubrzo je postao dočasnik, a 1918. poslan je na bojište u Francuskoj. Ondje je za iskazanu hrabrost u borbama kod Villers-Cotteretsa tijekom bitke za Soissons odlikovan čak dvjema Medaljama časti. Uz jednu mornaričku i drugu za kopnenu vojsku, odlikovan je i mnogobrojnim stranim odličjima. Dvaput je lakše ranjen, te je stekao časnički čin. Nakon rata Lujo Cukela s marincima je služio u mnogim garnizonima diljem svijeta. S gotovo 32 godine službe umirovljen je kao bojnik. Uz pune vojne počasti pokopan je na nacionalnome groblju Arlington među američkim velikanima. Iako su ga za života s obzirom na podrijetlo nazivali »Austrijancem, Slavenom, Jugoslavenom, Srbinom i Hrvatom«, Lujo Cukela najviše je volio da ga zovu američkim marincem. |
