Had a thought…
1st thread on GA had the Iwo Jima pic. Battle of Iwo Jima started on February 18. Same day Q deleted the thread a and started Phase 2.
2nd and now 3rd threads have the flag pic. By above logic, Phase 2 ends on Flag Day? Or 4th of July?
Military parade will then indeed be a VICTORY parade, as some anons have already speculated?
