Denied
The Board denied the claim for a government-furnished headstone or grave marker as the decedent did not have active military service and was only on ACDUTRA.
The deciding factor: The decedent's ACDUTRA did not qualify him as a veteran under the applicable regulations, thus he is not eligible for a government-furnished headstone or grave marker.
