MOPH - Wounded Warrior Christmas Leave Program GuidelinesUtilization of Funds - 100% of all funds donated are to be used for the Wounded Warrior Christmas Leave Program. All administrative duties will be performed by volunteers at no cost to the fund. 2007 Christmas Leave - The Christmas Leave funding will be made available upon request for wounded Marines berthed in the Wounded Warrior Barracks in Camp Lejeune, NC and for wounded Soldiers billeted in the Warrior Transition Battallion Barracks, WAMC in Fort Bragg, NC so that they will be able to spend Christmas Leave with their families. Emergency Leave - Should there be any funds remaining after travel arrangements have been made for those needing funds for Christmas 2007, it will be held and disbursed to Marines or Soldiers residing in Wounded Warrior Barracks/Warrior Transition Battallion as outlined above to defray transportation costs for Emergency Leave during Calendar Year 2008. 2008 Emergency Leave - Emergency Leave is defined as leave authorized by competent authority as a result of American Red Cross verification of an emergency involving a family member, requiring service members presence at home. Family members are defined as 'local parentis' - mother and father or person(s) who reared service member; service members spouse, children, brothers, sisters, grandfather, grandmother and no others.
