Cleveland man to ring closing bell at stock exchange

(CLEVELAND) A Cleveland veteran will ring the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange today. 

Arthur "J.J." Johnson, a U.S. Marine who served form 1969 to 1971,  had a stroke leaving his left arm paralyzed. He says, he can now use it thanks to a robotic arm. The device is made by Myomo, which went public this week. 

Johnson says the device and company brings hope to stroke survivors. He's honored to ring the closing bell.
