If the mother of the fallen soldier finds it disrespectful, then it is. 

"Representative Frederica Wilson, a Florida Democrat, was with widow Myeshia Johnson when Trump called. “She was crying the whole time, and when she hung up the phone, she looked at me and said, ‘He didn’t even remember his name.’ That’s the hurting part,” Wilson told MSNBC.

... But Johnson’s mother Cowanda Jones-Johnson, who was also in the car, told The Washington Post, “President Trump did disrespect my son and my daughter and also me and my husband.” She declined to elaborate but told the Post that Wilson’s account was accurate."

It's probably more to do with how he said it. What I get from this is that she was upset because he didn't even remember the soldiers name. However if she is upset about someone saying I'm sure your son has no Regrets as hew knew what he was doing and did it for his country then she is just being closed minded and venting.

With that being said grief can make people a little sensitive so maybe she reacted how she normally wouldn't

I will concede that it was probably not his intention in this situation to disrespect. However, I do think he owes it to her to at least acknowledge his mistake. I would respect him more if he would own up to mistakes he makes.
