Yesterday’s ride to honor a fallen police officer was embraced by an entire community. Young children to elderly individuals showed their appreciation to me yesterday as I honored K9 Police Officer Josh Miktarian. It was obvious by the response that this man will never be forgotten.
Thank you to everyone in the Twinsburg, Ohio community for embracing this honor ride.
Today, the 7th anniversary of the death of Twinsburg K9 Officer, Josh Miktarian, I rode a “12 hour shift” to honor him.
This ride was primarily along the length of Officer Joshua T. Miktarian Memorial Parkway in Twinsburg, Ohio. It began at 8am and ended at 8pm.
Josh made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting all of us from harm.
May none of us ever forget the price he paid.

Congratulations to Alexandra on receiving the Good Citizen Award for standing up to bullying at her school.
This needs to become commonplace at all schools across the country.
When a child is bullied, it is hurtful to many. When the child has Asperger syndrome it adds another layer of hurtfulness. A child struggling to get by while lacking some of the social skills of others his or her age has enough of a challenge with day to day interactions. It takes a very hands on approach of a parent to protect their child from harm.
The bucolic Village of Gates Mills was my home for nearly twenty years. I always love coming back, especially this time of year. The 4th of July parade is always a very patriotic affair. Thank you to everyone for the overwhelming support and hundreds of ovations.
Happy Independence Day to everyone!!

Bogart is my travel companion on The Kindness Bus Tour for the next ten years. We will be on the road traveling to campuses across the country. Bogart is a eight year old Boston Terrier. He is a great people dog... he loves meeting new people. I am Bogart's fourth owner in his short 8 years of life... Not because of him but because his three previous owner's lifestyles changed after they took him in... Lucky for me!! Bogart is the luckiest, most spoiled dog on the face of the earth. He loves the bus and he loves to travel. Please come and visit him when we are on your campus.
The Blue Bird Corporation donated this amazing bus to One Million Acts of Kindness, allowing us the continue this initiative. It has been painted to closely resemble the original Kindness Bus. It will last well beyond the ten years of this mission. A very big thank you to Blue Bird from Bob Votruba and Bogart too!!
The original Kindness bus has been donated to a professor at Virginia Tech who will use it on campus and at schools in the Blacksburg area. The Kindness Bus will continue to inspire and comfort residents, students and visitors in that area for years to come.
One Million Acts Of Kindness is a goal. A goal for each person to individually perform One Million Acts Of Kindness in their life. Can you imagine a greater goal for one's life? It is a constant mind-set of kindness every day of your life for the next fifty-five years. Doing for others and kindness in your heart for everyone. It is my wish that you will dedicate your life to a charity... finding the passion in your heart for something or someone in need.
As a father of three college age kids I am concerned for the world in which all kids will live. A great way to create a safer, more caring world is for everyone to start their lifetime goal of One Million Acts Of Kindness. So I bought a bus, had about sixty family members, friends and neighbors help paint it and began a ten year journey with my Boston Terrier, Bogart, to college campuses across the country hoping to convince as many of you as possible about this much needed movement for this world. I love you guys too much to sit back and not do anything about this. Let's start a kindness movement in this country today to change the direction this world is headed!! You are the change that this world needs.
