Not only is it somehow OK, it is the right thing to do.

Why don't you explain exactly why it is wrong to refer to that day and show fleeting scenes of what happened.

If you read my post, you'd already know that what you stated is not my position. My objection has nothing to do with referring to that day. It has to do with showing someone's body - flag-draped or not. And if that person and/or his/her family has no objection to that, that's fine, too. But there is no right to use images of the dead for purposes which the dead may - or may not - condone.
