Yes, Mike, I do agree it tells, but I'd put it this way: commemoration is a noun that serves as an attribute. The difference is that as denotes a function, while adjective can't, it's from morhology. Sorry if I repeat myself.
Well, you will be happy to know that many people refer to that type of noun as an attributive noun.
