Through November 11, 2015, friends and loved ones can submit the story of their personal hero, why he or she deserves a vacation and a photo at www.daysinn.com/heroes. Each week during the contest, one veteran or active service member will be chosen by Days Inn to receive a six-night, seven day stay at the Days Inn hotel of their choice (located in the U.S. or Canada) and a $1,000 Wyndham Rewards(®) gift card.

"Over a million men and women serve in the U.S. military, while millions more are counted among our nation's veterans," said Patrick Breen, Days Inn brand senior vice president. "As Veteran's Day approaches, we hope that our efforts will serve as reminder--both to those who've worn the uniform before, as well as though who still do--that they will always have our sincerest thanks and strongest support, not just today, but every day."

Through the end of the year, Days Inn will also donate 10 Wyndham Rewards points--up to one million points--to Hotels for Heroes for every hotel reservation made at www.daysinn.com. Created by the Fisher House Foundation, Hotels for Heroes provides hotel rooms to the families of wounded, injured, and ill military service members, who are undergoing treatment at authorized medical centers.

For more information about the "Honor a Hero" contest, including official rules or to enter, visit www.daysinn.com/heroes.
