In civics we’re studying the flag code, and we learned about how the finial (the ball or spike on top of a flagpole) is used to keep birds off of the pole. However, I do believe watching a movie where a man was stabbed with the finial of a flag. I don’t think it was “The Patriot”, even though Mel did hit a guy with it. Can you help me think of the name?
