ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Westgate Resorts is honoring U.S. military personnel who have and continue to serve our country by giving away 1,000 free vacations to those military members and their families at the company's most recently renovated property, Westgate River Ranch Resort, a Florida-cowboy themed destination resort and the largest dude ranch east of the Mississippi. This is the fourth year in a row that Westgate has honored our nation's heroes with free vacations, and this current offer will bring the total to over 3,500 military families served by this program.
This is a special offer specifically for all U.S. military personnel and their families who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom and The War on Terror. Starting Nov. 8 at 9 am EST, eligible service members may call in to receive a complimentary three day, two night vacation during the week (Sunday through Thursday) at the Westgate River Ranch Resort located just one hour south of Orlando and one hour west of Tampa. To be eligible, military must have served in Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and/or The War on Terror. (Service dates of 9/11/2001 through today). Other past U.S. military members are eligible for the ranch's military rate, which offers a savings of 25 percent on room rates.

"As a veteran myself, I understand the dedication and sacrifice required of our troops," said David Siegel, Westgate Resorts founder and CEO. "I am incredibly proud of these national heroes, and it is our pleasure to thank them the best way we know how at Westgate Resorts - with an unforgettable vacation experience."
The families will have the opportunity to be among the first to experience Westgate River Ranch following its Oct. 2013 re-launch and multi-million dollar renovation. The renovation included completely renovated luxury guest accommodations, a variety of new activities such as a zip line, mechanical bull and mini-golf course and the introduction of Glamping (glamorous camping) – an exciting new way to experience camping without "roughing it" in Central Florida.
