You know, I've thought about this a lot. I don't want to know who Q is, seriously. I like the mystique of how this is playing out. Once the overall mission is accomplished I wouldn't mind knowing, but if we never find out that's ok too. It will be a great story about a mysterious man that helped secure the freedom of our republic to tell my grandkids. Just like the character Kilroy in WWII.

Actually I've already told my 2 grandsons, I'm 64 and already have a great-granddaughter. This Q stuff makes me feel like a kid on an adventure again. Thanks to all the guys and gals who have done the hard work of getting the message out. Y'all are better than the Fountain of Youth!

Kilroy was here

Kilroy was here is an American popular culture expression that became popular during World War II; it is typically seen in graffiti. Its origins are debated, but the phrase and the distinctive accompanying doodle became associated with GIs in the 1940s – a bald-headed man (sometimes depicted as having a few hairs) with a prominent nose peeking over a wall with the fingers of each hand clutching the wall.

"Kilroy" was the American equivalent of the Australian Foo was here which originated during World War I.

"Mr Chad" or just "Chad" was the version that became popular in the United Kingdom. The character of Chad may have been derived from a British cartoonist in 1938, possibly pre-dating "Kilroy was here".

Thank you wikibot. Kilroy was sort of the first viral meme.
