Americans across the country celebrate Memorial Day in honor of those who have died while in the military service. Though it's a day of remembrance, it also kicks off the most fun part of the year -- summer! For many, Memorial Day signals the beginning of beach season and barbecues. So let's celebrate America with these fun GIFs!

Got any Memorial Day plans? Maybe you’re heading to a parade and dressing up in those American flag shorts (guilty). Or perhaps heading to the public pool to kick off swimming season is more your style. Whatever you do, there’s one Memorial Day staple that all Americans must experience on Monday— the BBQ.

Cap that graduation hat to make it yours.

Hooo boy, it is so close to being summer, we can practically hear the incessant song of the ice cream truck already. Frankly we don't want to wait until Monday to kick off the season. We can't. We've lost all control. Here are some pics of animals in kiddie pools to prove it.

The next time a particular aspect of your own appearance gets you down -- like an expanding waistline, or a larger than normal nose -- remember what our mom used to say to us as children: "You could've been born as a star-nosed mole, or a blobfish. Now shut up and eat your tacos!" (Love ya, mom!)

Memorial Day is coming up soon, which means the beginning of swimming season is quickly approaching. This also means plenty of painful belly flops, fully-clothed people falling into pools and our latest hilarious discovery, diving fails.

Turns out, Zach Galifianakis isn't just a great comedic actor, he's also one heck of a nice guy. After learning that an elderly woman he's known for years had become homeless, he generously found her a small apartment and started paying her rent. Aww!

One person says it looks like a war zone.

If you've never seen half of a bell pepper that looks like a face, you need to do one of two things; either A) eat more vegetables, or B) look at these pictures. Actually, it probably wouldn't hurt to do both.

We know -- business cards? Even though nearly everything is done in the digital realm, they are still a thing. A thing we usually throw in the bin straightaway. We would gladly let these cards clutter up our desk, though. They're creative enough to warrant existing, and probably actually earn their proprietors some business. Check them out below.

Why are moms awesome? Here are (just a few) reasons why moms are awesome.

These animals know what's up. They know your secret. They know you're in on the joke. They know how to close their eyes one at a time. They know how to be adorable. They know how to wink.

You used to get dressed right away so you could go out and play.

The annual White House Correspondents' dinner took place this past weekend, and it was a delight.

Boston is currently on lockdown as police continue the manhunt for Dzhokar A. Tsarnaev, the 19-year-old suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing investigation.

The internet can be a pretty tricky world to navigate, and e-mail is no exception.

We saw this amazing resignation cake and got inspired.

Monday's twin bombings at the Boston Marathon dominated the front pages of newspapers everywhere.

People can be awkward. Missed high fives, cell phone crashing-- humans are pretty darn good at making things hilariously embarrassing. Luckily for our own entertainment purposes, we've discovered another variety of awkward masters-- animals!

It's a silica world! Summer awaits!
