President Donald Trump turned the nation’s attention to Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel, a 13-year-old who aspired to become a police officer but was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2018, and made him an honorary member of the US Secret Service.
“Joining us in the gallery tonight is a young man who truly loves our police,” Trump said after praising America’s law enforcement officers.
“The doctors gave him five months at most to live. That was more than six years ago,” the president continued. “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.”
DJ has been sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer at police agencies around the country.
DJ reacted with a face of pure shock before his father hoisted him for the crowd to see. DJ proudly raised his new certificate and was met with claps, chants, and cheers.
