A Massachusetts Congressman’s special guest at Tuesday’s State of the Union address is getting a lot of attention. Rep. Seth Moulton invited 9-year-old Ahmad Alkhalaf to join him at the president’s speech.

“Ahmad is such a courageous young man. It was an honor to meet him,” Moulton said on social media before the address.
