When participating in a ceremony honoring veterans, should vets wear the dress uniform they wore while serving or the new blue?

I've seen plenty of old veterans (i.e. WWII, Korea, Vietnam) at ceremonies wearing the uniform they served in. If anything, I think it's MORE appropriate to wear that than something brand new.

Veterans may not be up to date with regulations on new dress uniforms. Also, as a veteran, I find a sense of pride putting on my aged uniform. I'd rather show off my veteran status by wearing a retired uniform than be mistaken for an ate up active duty soldier wearing their dress blues incorrectly.

I have been out since 1992 but I do attend parades in uniform. I wear the uniform that represents my time in service. I could not wear the beret on the new uniform because in my time, the black beret meant you were an Army Ranger, which I am not. However, I do wear dress blues with the yellow stripe and service cap. As a SPC you cannot do this with the current regulation, but back in 92 you could.
