The Arundel Mills mall salutes the troops and their families from Fort George G. Meade with a mural of patriotic design to commemorate and honor those serving our country. The 20-by-6 foot red, white and blue mural in the design of the American flag is located in the food court and features stars, planes and military-themed graphics.

The community is invited to write a special message of personal thanks and children can color one of the more than 500 fun graphics incorporated into the mural.

Arundel Mills will present the finished mural to a representative from Fort Meade next week.

The Simon Kidgits Club also will...
