A 13-year-old cancer survivor, DJ Daniel, has been made an honorary agent of the US Secret Service.
This announcement was made by President Donald Trump while addressing the US Congress on Tuesday night.
According to Trump: “Joining us in the gallery tonight is a young man who truly loves our police.
“His name is D.J Daniel he’s 13 years old, and he has always dreamed of becoming a police officer.
“But in 2018, D.J was diagnosed with brain cancer.
“The doctors gave him five months at most to live. That was more than six years ago.”
Trump recognized Daniel’s determination and surprised him with the news that his dream was becoming a reality.
“Tonight, DJ, we’re going to do you the biggest honor of them all,” Trump said, asking the new Secret Service Director, Sean Curran, to officially make Daniel an agent of the United States.
Daniel received a standing ovation from the majority of the crowd, although some Democrats remained seated during Trump’s speech about the 13-year-old.
This heartwarming moment highlights Daniel’s resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
