Washington D.C. – Congressman Frank Lucas recently welcomed El Reno, Okla. native, Aaron Detamore to his district office to thank him for applying to the United States Military Academy at West Point.

 “It was great visiting with Aaron in my district office,” said Lucas. “His willingness to serve our country is a true testament to the hard-working, dedicated students in the Third District of Oklahoma. I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.”

 Detamore Graduated from El Reno High School in May 2012. He is the son of Brien and Brenda Detamore of El Reno and his father was commissioned as an Army officer for 10 years.

 Four of our nation’s five service academies require a congressional nomination, including the United States Military Academy at West Point, the Merchant Marine Academy, the Air Force Academy, and the Naval Academy.  In order to receive a nomination, the student must be between the ages of 17 and 23 and a resident of the Third Congressional District of Oklahoma.  Each academy offers young men and women a free college education at a highly ranked, nationally recognized academic program while preparing them for an officer’s commission in the armed forces upon graduation.  For more information on service academy nominations, please visit Congressman Lucas’ website at /service-academy-nominations.
