The ball on top of the flag pole is call the truck
There is one match and one bullet inside the ball on top of the American flag poles and a pistil under the flag pole. This is so that if we Americans were ever in the position where we had to surrender our flag we can first burn it with the match and then we can use the bullet to kill ourselves so we can not be taken hostage.
I dont really know figure it out on a better sight!!
The south flag. on a serious note, the south pole is in Antarctica.
The pole in the park is often called a "flagpole" if it is used to display a flag or a "light pole" if it is used for illumination.
The second flag planted at the South Pole was by the Soviet Union during the 1959 Soviet Antarctic Expedition. The team reached the South Pole on January 17, 1959, and planted their flag alongside the flag left by the original 1911 expedition led by Roald Amundsen.
Did you mean "holds the flag" question is confusing
a flag pole,a truck,
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.
It is not a myth it is just that this is only done on a military base as to defend our rights.
