ince a flag is a marker of territory, perhaps this truck fleet is part of manifest destiny. Simply by repositioning the vehicles new defensive boundaries are established. On the other hand, the golden balls that top flagpoles have come to be known on military bases as "trucks," so this might be a sophisticated symbolic reference. Maybe we could fashion small golden replica trucks to place on top of flag poles to replace the balls and come full circle.
“Well, I went to the bank this morning
And the cashier he said to me,
"If you join the Christmas club
We'll give you ten of them flags for free."
Well, I didn't mess around a bit
I took him up on what he said.
And I stuck them stickers all over my car
And one on my wife's forehead.” - John Prine
