WASHINGTON, D.C. (KTRK) — Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel, a 13-year-old boy from Pearland with a dream of a profession in legislation enforcement, acquired the final word recognition Tuesday night time as President Donald Trump addressed Congress.
“Becoming a member of us within the gallery tonight is a younger man who actually loves our police. His title is DJ Daniel. He is 13 years outdated and he is at all times dreamed of changing into a police officer,” the president mentioned. “Tonight DJ we’ll do you the most important honor of all of them. I’m asking our new Secret Service director, Sean Curran, to formally make you an agent of the US.”
DJ and his father stood in shock amid lawmakers, Trump, vp JD Vance and home speaker Mike Johnson as he realized he’d be an honorary member of the U.S. Secret Service.
DJ was identified with mind most cancers in 2018 and given 5 months to stay.
He is since had 13 mind surgical procedures, however has impressed many along with his constructive perspective.
“I am gonna carry on going till my gasoline tank runs out,” DJ mentioned in a video the White Home posted on X after the handle.
DJ’s want was to be sworn in by 100 police businesses. He is far exceeded that aim, changing into an honorary officer over 900 instances.
However the teen’s struggle continues. DJ posted to Instagram on his thirteenth birthday in November 2024 that he had three new tumors in his mind.
