Having to work on the 4th of July? That doesn't mean your heart can't still be in the celebrations. Take this guy, for example, his shoes, his socks, his shorts, AND his shirt all have the American flag on them. You can't miss it.

Did he only start celebrating in 2002, or did the shirt just happen to be bought that year? Either way, he clearly has not missed a year of celebrations since.

This was the 4th of July sunset in Maryland. What are the odds that the sky recreated the American flag on that very specific day? Not only is it beautiful, but it's also oddly fitting.
