“Special Agent” DJ Daniel Attends Charlie Kirk’s Memorial Service
DJ Daniel Continues To Make His Dreams A Reality
DJ Daniel, the young man from Houston, Texas, who President Donald Trump swore in as a U.S. Secret Service agent during his joint address to Congress in March, continues to make his dreams come true.
DJ was diagnosed at just the age of 6 with a rare form of brain cancer, but has defied the odds and continues to chase after his goal of becoming a police officer.
The young boy has had more than 13 brain surgeries, and is part of a research study in hopes of finding a cure.
Since his diagnosis in 2018, DJ and his father have visited more than 900 law enforcement agencies, and nearly all of them have named the boy an honorary officer.
We recently hosted honorary Special Agent DJ Daniel at Special Agent Class 445’s graduation, where he toured RTC, met Secretary Noem & Director Curran, and even checked out The Beast!

“If you call us to come, we are gonna show up,” DJ’s father, Theodis Daniel, said. “We will do anything to try to motivate people and give them hope.”
Earlier this year, President Trump gave DJ national recognition, when he invited him to his address to Congress to officially swear him in with the highest honor.
“Tonight, DJ, we’re going to do you the biggest honor of them all,” Trump said during his speech. “I’m asking our new Secret Service director, Sean Curran, to officially make you an agent of the United States Secret Service.”
DJ Honors Conservative Icon Charlie Kirk
On Sunday (September 21), DJ was seen in attendance at conservative influencer Charlie Kirk’s historic memorial in Glendale, Arizona.
He posted a picture to his personal Instagram on the floor of the stadium with his father.

Video posted to social media also showed DJ tying the shoes of former Republican Congressman Madison Cawthorn, who is in a wheelchair and unable to walk.
