What If A War Began, and Nobody Remembered The Attack?

There's going to be a 9/11 memorial ceremony in Saint Paul:

FEATURING A PERFORMANCE BY SPCO MUSICIANS

On September 11, The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and the City of St.
Paul will present a 30-minute lunch-hour event at Landmark Center
commemorating the five-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September
11, 2001. St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman will host, members of The Saint
Paul Chamber Orchestra will perform, and St. Paul’s Poet Laureate,
Carol Connolly, will give a reading of her choosing. [Any bets on that one?]

The event will take place at 12:15 p.m. The event will not be ticketed
and is free and open to the public.

The idea behind the event came from Mayor Coleman, who wished to
provide an opportunity for reflection and meditation on the tragedy of
September 11 for those who live and work in St. Paul.

It's rumored that all attendees will be compelled to lock shoulders and sing "We Are The World" while gently swaying from side to side. Tissues will be provided.
