President Donald Trump, during his address to Congress, made a heartfelt gesture in reference to the Make America Healthy Again movement, appointing 13-year-old cancer survivor Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel as an honorary Secret Service agent.
Daniel, a resident of Texas, has been battling a rare form of brain cancer since he was diagnosed six years ago. Despite the odds, he has been fighting bravely and has dreamed of becoming a police officer. Trump recognized Daniel’s courage and resilience, highlighting his journey to fulfilling his dream by being sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer by numerous agencies across the country.
“DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer. The doctors gave him five months at most to live. That was more than six years ago,” Trump said in his remarks. “DJ and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true, and DJ has been sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer. Actually, a number of times,”
“The police love him…and tonight, DJ, we’re going to do you the biggest honor of them all,” Trump added.
