Like most good holidays, the Fourth of July is more about eating, drinking, and hanging out than it is about the actual reason behind the holiday. Sure, we'll remember the Founding Fathers and whatever the heck they did, and wonder if there's anything truly worth celebrating, but we'll actually be too busy eating hamburgers and lighting things on fire to really think too hard about it. And the Fourth is nice because it's usually a good time to hang out outside, which always makes something feel more special. If you have some good pals and a nice bonfire to sit around, that's about the best way to spend your time as it gets.
So this year, whether you're going full Rex Kwon-Do Americana mode or if you'll just politely be eating potato salad, these memes will get you in the spirit. Just don't get too in the spirit and accidentally shoot a bottle rocket at your friend's eye, promise?
