Title: The FBI’s Knoxville Field Office and its Citizens Academy Alumni Association paid a visit to Children’s Hospital.

Make a fist.

We’re gonna get you cleaned in a second.

John Raleigh, special agent, FBI Knoxville: Part of the reason I came down was, one, I love kids, and two, I’ve been down some of the same roads with fighting cancer. And I know, as an adult, just how difficult that is on the individual and on the family members. And I felt like, if given the opportunity to take a kid's mind off of their fight for just a minute, I wanted to be involved.

Title: FBI Citizens Academies and the alumni support and promote law enforcement agencies through community engagement, education, and outreach.

Bill Evans, vice president, FBI Knoxville Citizens Academy Alumni Association: To me, kids, to walk in and know that so many are in-patients here, and they’re not going to be able to be in their homes for Christmas, and yet seeing the smiles on their faces, the thank-yous, the excitement of seeing the toys. I handed a toy to a 12-year-old and she lit up. It’s like I flipped a switch. And just to see that, it just really warms your heart.

Take care Superman. Be good, okay?

Bye.

Bye buddy. You take care, buddy.

See ya. Be good.
