Hero killed for my freedom
by Revista staff
Johnny Ray Alvarez, a veteran
who served in Vietnam, remembers the horrors of the war and of
his best friend Marine Pfc. Andrew Montano. “I remember the
first time I met Andrew, it was at
Hopkins Elementary School. We
were both young and had a lot in
common. As we graduated to Patti
Welder, we shared a love for music and that would be the bond that
grew us closer together. At Stroman High School we perfected
our music.”
“Growing up in Victoria in the
60s was a time where work was
to be had, if you wanted it. Working odd jobs and hauling hay was
a means of earning money. We
worked hard and earned enough
money to buy our musical instruments. Andrew was a strong
young boy and loved to earn money and play music. When Andrew
bought a set of drums, we started a
musical group and played at many
garage parties and other venues.
Andrew became very popular with
the girls because of his music. Andrew also had a kind heart and was
always willing to go the extra mile
to make anyone smile,” Alvarez
continued.
Andrew Montano’s sister, Justa
M. Julian, remembers her brother
as a good and respectful son to
his father Andres Montano and
mother Agapita Vasquez Montano.
The last letter she received from
Andrew is one that she will always
remember dated July 27, 1969, and

Victoria native serves aboard USS Porter
by Chief Mass Communication Specialist
Karen Cozza
A Victoria High School class
of 2001graduate, originally from
Victoria, Texas is serving aboard
the U.S. Navy’s guided-missile
destroyer USS Porter (DDG 78)
as it transits to its new forwarddeployed base in Rota, Spain.
Porter joins guided-missile de-
stroyers USS Donald Cook (DDG
75) and USS Ross (DDG 71),
which both transited to Spain last
year. The fourth vessel, USS Carney (DDG 64), is slated to depart
for Rota in the fall. Petty Officer 1st Class Daniel
J. Lopez Jr. is a Fire Control man
who works in Weapons Department aboard Porter operating out
of Naval Station Rota, which is
strategically located near the Strait
of Gibraltar and at the halfway
point between the United States
and Southwest Asia. Because of this ideal location,
Naval Station Rota is able to provide invaluable support to U.S. 6th
Fleet units in the European region.
U.S. and Spanish naval forces have
enjoyed a strong bilateral partnership for more than 60 years.

Department aboard Porter. Contributed photo.
An Arleigh Burke-class guidedmissile destroyer, Porter is 505
feet long - or more than one and a
half football fields. The ship is 66
feet wide, weighs more than 9,000
tons, and its four gas turbine engines can push the ship through the
ocean at nearly 35 miles per hour. Porter is the fifth ship to bear the
name of two naval legends: Commodore David Porter and his son,
Adm. David Dixon Porter. Their
legendary naval exploits earned
them a place of honor in U.S. naval history.
Lopez, son of Oralia Lopez and
Daniel J. Lopez Sr., is receiving
firsthand experience with the innovations the Navy incorporated
into the design of the ship. Each
ship is equipped to provide a mobile ballistic-missile defense for
allies and partners in the European
region. Missions will also include
maritime security operations, cooperative training exercises and
deployments.
“I am part of the Strike team.
When we are directed, my team
launches Tomahawk missiles at
targets. I believe [the Navy’s]
presence gives other nations a
sense of comfort knowing we will
help out if anything happens.”
Lopez also said he is proud of
the work he is doing as part of the
Porter’s 270-member crew, living
thousands of miles from home,
and protecting America on the
world’s oceans. Lopez added, “The commanding officer and crew are great to
work with. There is a real sense of
family on board.”
“Porter and her crew are always
where we need to be when it matters. I am so proud of the utmost
professionalism our sailors display
every day,” said Cmdr. Blair Guy,
the ship’s commanding officer.
“Their honor, courage, commitment, and selfless dedication to the
Navy are truly motivating.”

UHV School of Nursing presents pins to graduates
The University of HoustonVictoria School of Nursing will
celebrate on Saturday the first successes of a new program.
As part of the UHV School of
Nursing Pinning Ceremony, the
school will recognize the first 11
graduates of the Master of Science
in Nursing family nurse practitioner program, which started in fall
2013.
“We’re very proud of this group
of students,” said Kathryn Tart,
dean of the school. “They’ve
worked very hard, and they are
looking forward to being leaders
in health care. These practitioners
are going to be serving in more
rural, medically underserved areas where patients are in need of
access to health care providers.
The need for nurse practitioners
in Texas and across the nation is
growing, and we want to be able to
meet that need for patient access.”
The UHV School of Nursing Pinning Ceremony will be
at 3 p.m. Saturday at Faith Family Church, 2002 E. Mockingbird
Lane, immediately following the
university’s afternoon commencement ceremony. A total of 49 students will receive their UHV pins.
The pin presented to the nurses
during the ceremony will stay on
their lapels for the rest of their
professional careers to let patients
know that well-educated nurses
are caring for them. The pin signifies the nursing program from
which a nurse graduated. Each
nursing school has a unique pin.
UHV School of Nursing faculty members will pin 25 Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduates and 20
MSN graduates, including those
students with family nurse practitioner concentrations. They also
will recognize three students who
earned post-master’s certificates
and one student who completed
the RN to MSN bridge degree.
To acknowledge the university’s
first group of family nurse practitioner graduates, the speaker at
the ceremony will be Jean Gisler,
who owns a family nurse practitioner clinic in Victoria in partnership with fellow nurse practitioner
Chris Stines. She has worked as a
RN for 25 years and a family nurse
practitioner for 20.
In addition to her practice,
Gisler also is involved in several
nursing groups, including the Victoria Area
Nurse
Practitioners,
which she cofounded;
American
Academy
of Nurse Practitioners;
and Texas Nurse Practitioners, which she
served as vice president. She was the 2008
recipient of the Texas
Nurse Practitioner of
the Year, and in 2009,
she was awarded the

Pet cancer awareness month
Contributed photo.
With the month of May in full
swing, so is Pet Cancer Awareness
Month. All pets, regardless of size
and breed, are at risk for developing cancer. However, there are
certain breeds of dogs that have
higher instances of the disease
than others.
Certain breeds, such as golden
retrievers, Rottweilers, and German shepherds are considered atrisk breeds and have a higher risk
of getting cancer. According to the
Veterinary Cancer Society, these
breeds can have up to a 70-80 percent chance of getting cancer in
their lifetime.
Of course, older dogs are more
likely to develop diseases such as
cancer than younger dogs. “Just
like in people, however, the earlier
that cancer is detected, the greater
chance there will be of achieving
remission,” said Jaci Christensen,
oncology veterinary technician at
the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences.
One goal of Pet Cancer Awareness Month is to inform pet owners of symptoms to look for in their
pet. The Veterinary Cancer Society suggests checking your pet
regularly for signs such as swollen
lymph nodes, sudden weight loss,
enlarged lumps, vomiting, diarrhea, and lameness. If your pet displays any of these warning signs,
consult with your veterinarian as
soon as you can.
If your veterinarian does find
cancer, there are various treatment
options for most types of the disease. Once you know which type
you’re fighting, the various treatment options can then be discussed
with your veterinarian.
“Cancer treatment in dogs is
similar to that of humans, including treatment options such as chemotherapy, radiation and surgery,”
said Christensen. “However, surprisingly, chemotherapy’s side effects tend to be less severe in our
pets than in humans.”
TomoTherapy, a state-of-the-art
radiation therapy system, is another treatment that is available.
This precise image-guided radiation therapy allows veterinarians
to pinpoint a tumor’s size, shape,
and location seconds before radiation therapy begins.
Veterinarians stress that wellness checks every year or six
months are key to cancer preven-
tion. To ensure the cancer is detected in time, it is urged that pet
owners take their pets to the veterinarian for blood work and biopsies if cancer is suspected.
Learning that your beloved pet
has cancer is never easy, but discovering it early on ensures a better chance of survival and an increased quality of life. Although
May is Pet Cancer Awareness
month, spread the awareness of
cancer’s prevalence amongst our
four-legged friends all throughout the year, and be sure to check
for signs both at home and during
your regular visits to the veterinarian.

Law enforcement cracks down on unbuckled drivers, passengers May 18 - May 31
“Click It or Ticket” campaign warns Texans of deadly consequences
of not buckling up
The simple, law-abiding habit
of wearing a seat belt can protect
thousands of Texans from serious
injury or death. Yet, many people
still refuse. For them, the Texas
Department of Transportation is
launching its 14thannual statewide
“Click It or Ticket” campaign to
augment the federal, stepped-up
enforcement period, May 18-31.
“It’s heartbreaking to know
lives are being lost on Texas road-
ways because people are still not
buckling up,” said John Barton,
TxDOT deputy executive director.
“These motorists have friends and
families who will never get over
the loss of their loved one. It’s really simple. Seat belts save lives.
Every single individual in a vehicle needs to be buckled up.”
If the deadly consequences
aren’t enough to motivate seat belt
use, fines and court costs can to-
tal up to $200. In Texas, the law
requires everyone in a vehicle to
be buckled up, including back seat
passengers.
In 2014, 2,587 motor vehicle
traffic crashes occurred in Texas
in which unrestrained vehicle occupants sustained fatal or serious
injuries. Wearing a seat belt helps
keep occupants from being ejected
in a crash and increases the chances of surviving by 45 percent. In
pickup trucks,
that
number
jumps to 60 percent, as those
vehicles
are
twice as likely
as cars to roll
over in a crash.

ists to always
use their seat
belts. Only 76 percent of Texans
used seat belts when the campaign
started in 2002. Today, 9 out of 10
Texans buckle up. The National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that since its
inception, the “Click It or Ticket”
campaign in Texas has resulted in
4,319 fewer traffic fatalities while
preventing 72,926 serious injuries
and saving more than $16.7 billion
in related economic costs.

USS PORTER, from pg. 2
flight operations. Fast, maneuverable, and technically advanced, destroyers provide
the required war fighting expertise and operational flexibility
to execute any tasking overseas.
With multi-mission capabilities in
surface warfare, anti-submarine
warfare, anti-air warfare, ballistic
missile defense, and humanitarian
assistance, Arleigh Burke destroyers excel as the Navy’s premier
fighting warship.
Assigned to U.S. 6th Fleet area
of operations, Porter sailors are
conducting naval operations in
support of U.S. national security interests in Europe. U.S. 6th
Fleet, headquartered in Naples,
Italy, conducts the full spectrum of
joint and naval operations, often in
concert with allied, joint, and interagency partners, in order to advance U.S. national interests and
security and stability in Europe
and Africa. As members of one of the U.S.
Navy’s most versatile combat
ships, Lopez and other Porter Sailors understand they are part of
a forward-deployed team that is
heavily relied upon to help protect
and defend America and our allies
across the world’s oceans. “I am proud to know we are
keeping the people safe that depend on us,” said Lopez. “I have
a wife and 3 kids and they are the
reason I continue to serve; to give
them a better world.”
“Why Being There Matters”
On our planet, more than 70
percent of which is covered by
water, being there means having
the ability to act from the sea. The
Navy is uniquely positioned to be
there; the world’s oceans give the
Navy the power to protect America’s interests anywhere, and at
any time. Your Navy protects and
defends America on the world’s
oceans. Navy ships, submarines,
aircraft and, most importantly,
tens of thousands of America’s
finest young men and women are
deployed around the world doing
just that. They are there now. They
will be there when we are sleeping
tonight. They will be there every
Saturday, Sunday and holiday this
year. They are there around the
clock, far from our shores, defending America at all times. www.RevistaDeVictoriaTx.com
