I agree with you that they deserve to be mourned and they deserve the respect of every American for their sacrifice, even if it was the result of an accident. I just know the pervasive attitude of a good number of Americans these days and they are just looking for sombody to blame (and thusly sue). Perhaps my ire at that mentality colored my reading of your post. This guy died in the act of protecting me and millions of others, no matter the specific action, and does deserve all the honor we can bestow upon him.
