Around seven years ago, a little boy named DJ Daniel was given a grave diagnosis by medical professionals. At only 6 years old, he had developed brain cancer. At that time, he was given about five months to live. Needless to say, DJ and his family were absolutely devastated. Thankfully, however, this brave kid went on to beat all the odds stacked against him.

Now, at 13 years old, DJ can say he’s accomplished things he once only dreamed were possible. For example, he has always wanted to become a police officer. Since his diagnoses, he’s been sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer a number of times. Still, nothing could have prepared him for what President Trump would tell him during his address last night. Watch this moment for yourself in the video below.
“Police departments love him,” Trump said. “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 Secret Service.”

There is absolutely no need to wonder if DJ knew that he would be receiving this honor or not. As soon as he hears the news, the complete and total shock on his face could not be more obvious. His eyes grow wide as he looks around, almost as if to say, “Wait, really!?”
It’s no wonder that, in that same moment, Dad once again proudly raises his son into the air. Soon after, the Secret Service director, Sean Curran, also pulls DJ in for a hug. Needless to say, this is one night that this sweet 13-year-old boy will never forget!
