it is a razor blade, a SINGLE match, and a bullet. the razor to cut up the flag, the match to burn it to prevent it's capture, and a bullet the commit suicide.
The ball on top of the flag pole is call the truck
It is not a myth it is just that this is only done on a military base as to defend our rights.
Did you mean "holds the flag" question is confusing
A truck
a flag pole,a truck,
I was informed that the top of a flag pole was called a truck. Now I learn that it is not a truck but a finial. The turck is the mechanism that connects the finial to the flag pole. IS this correct and where do these words come from.
The truck is the name for the round ball on top of the flagpole. It serves to keep the flag from getting caught if wind flips it over the pole. There are a number of legends about what is inside the truck- a match to burn the flag, a razor blade to cut up the flag, a pistol cartridge for the last soldier, etc. Sorry- the ball is hollow. Nothing in there.
This is a trick question given to most new military members aka boots. As there are many trucks located on a base but when asked "where is the truck located at on a base"? The answer is at base commanders flag pole or the cg's flag pole. The truck is not an automobile but instead is plan to defend the bases flag at all cost. In some stories the truck is a case at the flagpole with a razor blade and a match to destroy the flag as our flag is never to be taken and also is said to have a bullet and a map which leads to a burried gun so the last man doesn't get taken prisoner. It all big story that started somewhere but when asked just say the cg's flagpole.
In Hindu, the red flag on a bamboo pole is to offer prayer and special sweets to the Hindu god, Hanuman. The flag is either placed inside the home or on a larger bamboo pole mounted in the front or back of the residence.
There is only one Truck on each Army installation, it is usually located in front of the Headquarters of that base on top of the only flag pole. The "Truck" is the golden ball that tips a flag pole, its significances goes back to the old Army, inside the Truck you would find 1 matchstick, 1 razor blade an 1 .45 caliber round, if you were to knock the flag pole down at True North where the truck lands you would be able to dig up the ground and find a .45 caliber pistol. If the installation was to over run and you were the sole surviving American you would take the razor blade and cut the American Flag into pieces, then take the Matchstick and burn the flag and finally load the .45 caliber round into the gun and shot yourself. We as American soldiers would not settle to surrender the American Flag to our enemies.
legend is a match, an m-16 round, and a razor blade.
