I’m not one to cry easily. Yet, I found myself wiping away a few tears Tuesday night during President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress. 

There were several touching moments, but it’s hard to beat Trump's recognition of 13-year-old brain cancer survivor Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel. DJ has dreams of becoming a police officer, and the president made him an honorary member of the Secret Service as millions of Americans and his proud father watched.

The genuine surprise and joy on DJ’s face when he heard Trump’s words and received a badge was priceless. The recognition and honor from America's commander in chief likely will be one of life's highlights for both father and son.

The crowd in attendance stood and cheered DJ’s moment.
