Since you are a neice of this Vet, you are an heir and next of kin, according to Virginia's law of intestate succession. Any living kin, of any degree, should be able to see the records.

On investigating, I found that only the veteran, legal heirs, or other legal assignees can have access to these records. My uncle was in the army, fought at D-Day, and never married. All of his siblings are also gone. I have been trying to find out more, as I would like to get a government issued tombstone for his grave at Oakwood Cemetery in Richmond. Am I right in assuming that I am not qualified to have access to his records? By this reading, no one can access his files, as all he has left living are various nieces and nephews.
