“Joining us at the gallery tonight is a young man who truly loves our police. His name is DJ Daniel. He is 13 years old, and he has always dreamed of becoming a police officer,” said President Trump as members of Congress clapped.
DJ has been sworn in as an honorary member of more than 900 law enforcement agencies nationwide.
NBC 6 News was there when DJ was sworn in with the Mansfield Police Department and the Bossier Sheriff’s Office in 2024.
DJ is battling terminal brain and spine cancer. He admits he doesn’t know how much time he has left. Last night, the President gave him the honor of a lifetime.
“I am asking our new Secret Service director, Sean Curran, to officially make you an agent of the United States Secret Service,” said Mr. Trump to a room of raucous cheers.
Mr. Trump used DJ’s story to highlight his administration’s goal of reducing childhood cancers over the next four years.
“DJ’s doctors believed his cancer likely came from a chemical he was exposed to when he was younger. Since 1975, rates of child cancer have increased by more than 40%,” said Trump. “Reversing this trend is one of the top priorities for our new presidential commission to Make America Healthy Again.”
