Yeah, but in that context you're not representing
some random joe, you're representing a particular
individual. By the same token, I don't see a
problem with a grandson wearing his grandfather's
uniform (or father's etc) as a representation of
that person at an event.
Still, if you're going to represent someone, you
better be able to explain a whole lot about them.
