In a heartwarming moment during his address to Congress on March 4, President Donald Trump introduced Devarjaye "DJ" Daniel, a 13-year-old boy battling brain cancer, as the youngest-ever honorary member of the U.S. Secret Service. DJ, who was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in 2018 and given just five months to live, has defied expectations and spent years visiting law enforcement agencies across the country, fulfilling his ambition to join the police force. As Trump recounted DJ's inspiring journey, the young boy dressed in a Houston police uniform was seated in the gallery with his father, visibly overwhelmed by the moment.

Trump praised DJ's resilience, stating, “Doctors gave him five months at most to live, but that was more than six years ago." In a pivotal announcement, Trump directed Secret Service Director Sean Curran to officially appoint DJ as an honorary Secret Service agent, fulfilling a lifelong dream. The chamber erupted in applause as DJ received a customized badge from Curran, signifying his new role.

Immediately following the announcement, DJ gave Trump a heartfelt hug, illustrating the emotional weight of the occasion, which was well received by many lawmakers from both parties. More than a dozen Democrats joined Republicans in applauding DJ.

DJ's journey has been filled with challenges, undergoing numerous surgeries and showing remarkable strength. He expressed his hopes to continue fighting, stating, “I’m gonna keep on going until my gas tank runs out.” His inspirational story has resonated widely, showcasing a "true hero" who symbolizes the fight against adversity.
