Using a phrase which we abhor sounds kind of misguided. If we have a problem with Trump saying it, it's not magically any better if we do it, even if sarcastically.

Besides, Memorial Day would probably be more appropriate. As I recall, he was talking about dead soldiers who died in service.

Veterans Day includes both living and deceased veterans and not just those who died in service.
