The Legend on Top of Military Flagpoles
American Flag with Gold Ball FinialHave you ever looked at the top of a flagpole and wondered what was inside that gold ball? Well, according to stories passed down through the military, there are very specific items hidden inside those shiny pole-top spheres.
The exact items vary, depending on the telling of the tale, but the basis for the legend is always the same: a real-life scenario of capture the flag, in which the military base is overrun by enemy forces. In order to protect the sacred Stars & Stripes from falling into the wrong hands, a brave soldier must use the items hidden inside the gold ball on top of the flagpole to defend Old Glory to the death, or provide her with a proper burial.
Variations on a Common Theme
The most popular items claimed to be stored inside the gold ball are a razor blade, a match and a bullet. The razor must be used to cut down the flag from the halyard, or tear it into strips. The match is for burning the flag, the most dignified way in which to destroy it, according to the United States Flag Code Title 4, Section 8k. And the bullet is to be used either as a final attempt to defend the flag, or in assisting the soldier to end their own life.
Other variations include a penny for blinding the enemy or, perhaps more symbolically, to ensure the United States will never be broke. Some versions include a grain of rice or wheat to give the soldier strength or rebuild food supplies in the event of a victory. For those curious about the usefulness of a bullet without a gun, some stories include details about a pistol being buried at the base of the flagpole or some 50 paces away. We’ve even heard of a needle and thread being stashed inside the finial for repairing a damaged flag in the face of triumph.
