Let Us Help You Protect Your Rights
As You Have Protected Ours

Dear Servicemember:

During this time of war, it is important not to forget the sacrifices voluntarily made by the brave individuals who serve in our military. As someone who has worked as a civilian in the U.S. Army (Manpower and Reserve Affairs) and at the Department of Defense, I know that it is not easy for men and women in the armed forces to have to leave their families, homes, and civilian jobs.

The Department of Justice, in partnership with other federal agencies, is committed to supporting you by enforcing the federal laws that protect your civil rights. The Civil Rights Division protects your civilian employment rights by enforcing the Uniformed Services Emplovment and Reemployment Rights Act ("USERRA"), your voting rights by enforcing the Uniformed and Overseas Citizen Absentee Voting Act of 1986 ("UOCAVA"), and your financial security through the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act ("SCRA").

The employees of the Department of Justice are proud to serve our nation's men and women in uniform. This site provides information on how the Department of Justice and other federal agencies can help you, and what you can do to protect your rights under the law.

Thank you for your service to this country.

Sincerely,

Grace Chung Becker
Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division
