During his address to Congress, President Donald Trump honored a 13-year-old boy battling cancer who had always dreamed of becoming a police officer. In a heartwarming moment, Trump surprised him with the special recognition of becoming an honorary member of the U.S. Secret Service.
Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel, a young boy from Texas who has been battling cancer most of his young life, was given the surprise of a lifetime when Trump granted his wish by making him a Secret Service agent.
“The doctors gave him five months at most to live. That was more than six years ago,” Trump said. “Since that time, DJ and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true.”
“And tonight, DJ, we’re going to do you the biggest honor of them all. I am asking our new Secret Service Director Sean Curran to officially make you an agent of the United States.”
