During his address to Congress, President Trump introduced 13-year-old Devarjaye "DJ" Daniel, a cancer survivor, to the nation. DJ, who has long dreamt of a career in law enforcement, received a heartwarming surprise. The President, acknowledging DJ's aspirations and his battle with brain cancer, which he was diagnosed with at a young age and defied the odds of a five-month prognosis, announced that DJ would be made an honorary member of the United States Secret Service.

The audience, including DJ's father, erupted in applause as Secret Service Director Sean Curran presented DJ with a personalized badge. This moment, orchestrated by the President, fulfilled DJ's dream on a grand scale. Trump highlighted DJ's ongoing pursuit of his law enforcement goals, noting his honorary memberships in various local police departments. This gesture of making DJ an honorary Secret Service agent further solidified the young boy's journey and served as an inspiration to many.
