The Memorial Day Weekend also starts the Indian Mound Mall’s An Old Gloryous Celebration campaign. An Old Gloryous Celebration is led by the International Council of Shopping Centers, Inc. (ICSC) and is backed by hundreds of shopping centers across the country. Supported nationally by the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and AMVETS (American Veterans), this patriotic campaign pays tribute to Old Glory and the great country for which she stands by rallying communities around the American flag and honoring local troops and veterans. Johnstown VFW has donated the use of over 25 American flags, to be displayed throughout the mall from Memorial Day through Flag Day. A display will also be set-up in the mall’s center court, where customers can show their patriotic pride by signing a Flag Day Pledge Card - - a promise to fly the flag on Flag Day. They will also receive a free American stick flag.

 
The An Old Gloryous Celebration campaign will end on Flag Day, when the mall will also host a day of events centered around Flag Day. Details of the Flag Day events will be posted on the malls website after Memorial Day, but will include an official rising of the American flag by the Heath American Legion and displays from groups such as the Licking County Veterans Office, American Legion and Armed Forces.

 “We are so proud to work with great organizations, like the Heath American Legion and Johnstown VFW, to honor our great country, our troops and veterans who have sacrificed so much, and especially honor those we’ve lost serving our country,” said Dustin Christensen, General Manager.
