By Mark Singer (Washington DC) JAN 23 | The White House has confirmed that congressional intern Daniel Hernandez, who went to the aid of his gravely injured boss, Congresswoman Gabby Giffords while the shooting rampage erupted around them in Tucson, Arizona, two weeks ago, has been invited to sit with the first Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, during the State of the Union address this coming Tuesday.
Hernandez, who coincidentally also turns 21 on Tuesday, told ABCNews White House correspondent Jake Tapper:
"I'm both honored and excited to have the opportunity to travel to our nation's Capitol for a once in a lifetime event. Also the chance to bring my father along for his first trip to Washington, D.C. The State of the Union is a pivotal moment because it is our opportunity to find where we are and where we will be going as a nation in this upcoming year," Hernandez said.
Hernandez who is openly Gay, will attend the presidential address to Congress with his father Daniel Hernandez Sr.
