Today is Independence Day, better known as the 4th of July. In America, this holiday is a national favorite, and for good reason. Even if you're not particularly patriotic, there's a lot of really fun stuff to do on the 4th of July, like attending cookouts, pool parties, firework displays or just sheltering in place to avoid stray gunshots. We all celebrate (or don't celebrate) a little differently, but the love for the holiday is a big part of American culture.

The following memes are for everyone who experiences the 4th of July, whether you're a patriotic American or a European who's tired of hearing Americans ask, "So how do you guys celebrate the 4th of July?" These memes are dripping with eagles, freedom, fireworks and American spirit (or lack thereof). While we've included some fun memes about the holiday, there are also some memes about the not-so-fun parts of the annual celebration. We hope some of them will resonate with you this 4th of July.
