Frankly, they're not supposed to do that. Wearing the uniform is reserved for active duty military. Wearing your old uniform to things like this can get you in serious trouble, so I do not suggest that anyone do that. It is against the law, literally.

Wear veteran gear instead. But not active duty uniforms with insignia on them.
