Denied
The Board denied the claim for a government-furnished headstone or grave marker as the decedent did not have qualifying active military service.
The deciding factor: The decedent only performed ACDUTRA and was not eligible for burial in a national cemetery, thus not meeting the basic eligibility requirements for a government-furnished headstone or marker.
