Is it proper for a son or daughter to wear their military service dress at a parent's funeral?

In: Manners and Etiquette

[Edit]

Answer

Answer
I don't see why not. Maybe that person is extremely proud of his or her uniform and they are hoping that their parent has gone to heaven and can see them in their uniform. We really never know what's going on in a child's head, give them a bit of space and don't pick on them for what they decided to wear. They lost a parent or parents and it's not right for someone to question what they chose to wear. Instead of questioning them, why not try being there for them as they are going to need lots of love and understanding.
