_______________________________________________________
There was no major parade in 1975
when the Army marked 200 years since
1775; in Trump-Pence administration
the "Golden Knights" Parachute team did
land on the White House lawn July 4, 2020
for an Independence Day celebration
(that year was the onset of COVID-19).
For this year's celebration, the Army has
been planning national, global, even
interstellar aspects [ an Army astronaut
will phone in from the International Space
Shuttle ]. Will a high-profile "Bastille Day"
type national event focused at the District
of Columbia set a "new" precedent for
events like the 200th anniversary of the
Declaration? of the Treaty of Paris? of
Constitution anniversaries?
