It's remembering the dead in the specific, during the way, that gets a few people upset.

Now that's just plain disingenuous. I don't think any sane American has a problem with remembering the dead in specific ways; they just don't like it being done with a political agenda.
I don't know if they do it anymore, but Fox used to have a regular segment on Brit Hume's show once a week where they interviewed a current-war Iraq vet and showcased his heroism. I only saw a couple of them, so I couldn't tell you if they profiled those KIA, but if tastefully done, I think it can be a wonderful reminder of the ultimate sacrifice these servicemen make for us.
