Maple Leaf Iconography:  Cemetery landscapes suggest that patriotism doesn't flag upon death. Many people, and not just veterans, make the national flag a permanent part of their memorial. They have it etched in granite. Just think: of all the icons that could have been chosen for this headstone, it was the maple leaf flag of Canada that won the lottery of choice. A more colorful version flies from poles, including those below in Canada's capital. Quick: What's Canada's capital? [2013]
