Military flag

I think it matches this one:
https://www.skysoldiers.army.mil/
“The 173rd Airborne Brigade (Sky Soldiers) is the U.S. Army’s Contingency Response Force in Europe, providing rapid forces to the United States European, Africa and Central Commands areas of responsibilities. Forward-based in Italy and Germany, the Brigade routinely trains alongside NATO allies and partners to build interoperability and strengthen the Alliance.”

Flag (other, non state, non military)

Found a bunch of rainbow pride flags, college flags, decorative flags, but the most represented non-state (unfortunately) flag was the DC flag, pictured here asking with a Mardi Gras flag.

1/22 Mariela Ajras (Buenos Aires, 1984)
Latin American Female Identity, 2019, behind La Cosecha, Union market 1280 4th St NE, Washington, DC 20002

[ATTACH=CONFIG]29812[/ATTACH]
From https://lacosechadc.com/merchants/mariela-ajras/:
“This mural is a donation of the Inter-American Development Bank to commemorate their 60th Anniversary. The image of a Latin creole/mestizo empowered woman looks towards the future. The woman is duplicated, addressing the idea that she looks from the past and at the same time, constructs her future. Behind her, there is a rising sun created in golden paint which reflects brightly on the wall’s surface. The women’s fabric patterns create an optical illusion and a geometric contemporary feeling. The mural expresses the vibrant spirit of the Latin American aesthetics incorporated with colorful Latin American textile designs.”

That’s great! Thank you, web gurus!

I hereby declare that scavenger hunt photos that were taken on the assigned dates but delayed in posting because of the web glitch will still count if posted this weekend. If you previously just posted a Strava link or a placeholder, please edit your post for easier judging to be considered for the main prize. Thanks!
