Easy, man. I don't think he meant it in a disrespectful way. It WAS Memorial Day weekend when he died, after all.

He died on Memorial Day! I am sorry, should we out law civilians from dying on Memorial day so we don't offend anyone in the military....

He died while saving another person's life, wouldn't want to have disgrace those who are honored for dying while taking others lives.

I agree with your first point. But for your second are you saying we shouldn't celebrate Memorial Day?

No, I am not saying that.

The term really should be commemorate, not celebrate. We should honor those who died in the line of service.

But I will not place military deaths as some how more honorable than the death of someone who put another's life ahead of his own. That is the ultimate hero.

Ok, I see what you're saying. Totally agree. Sorry I misunderstood.
