Memorial Day

This is the first time that I have been a part of memorial day because this is my first time in America. I know that the memorial day celebrates the bravery of those soldiers who gave up their lives to protect the freedom of this country. Many events are held all over the country to commemorate soldiers and their bravery. I got up pretty late in the morning and then watched a movie which had a very peculiar storyline.It was about three girls in Iraq who were passionate about soccer and wanted to see a game in the stadium. They could not do so as girls are not allowed in stadiums in Iraq. So they decided to dress up and boys and go see the game. They are successful in entering the stadium but they eventually get caught. The movie was very enthralling and it made me realize how oppressed women are in Iraq. I am happy I get to play soccer and I celebrated this by playing soccer in the evening.This was pretty much all I did on memorial day.
