On this legal civilian attire you can festoon it with all of bling acquired from a rewarding military career and wear it with honour to any military event.

This (with Wiser's clap for effect).
Or you could join any one (or several) of many service organizations that have a uniform, most of which would welcome a new and enthusiastic member. The RCL, ANAVETS, RCAFA, etc. I've got great mileage out of my RCAFA uniform in the near 2 years that I've been out. And a black suit with a white tuxedo dress shirt, bow tie and miniature medals has done the trick for those rare formal events.
My 2 cents, FWIW.
