		Louis Cukela was born in the town of Spalato, known today as Split, in Croatia in 1888.
		Cukela leaped from the saddle, snatched the bridle and yanked the horse’s head down to eye level.

	DefenseLink Speech:
		Set against the current conflict, this is perhaps most powerfully illustrated by a Marine Sergeant named Louis Cukela.
		It was said that Sergeant Cukela "had little interest in his own ethnicity and during his life was called Austrian, Slav, Yugoslav, Serb, and Croatian." In fighting in a war that started in the Balkans, this young hero did not care to be caught up in the ancient grudges.
		In the end, our success or failure in any struggle rests on heroes such as Sergeant Cukela.
