Sixteen veterans of the Second World War have found retirement to be very busy here in Boston. Over the past six years, the sixteen amphibious vehicles of Boston Duck Tours - the same ones that carried troops and equipment in both the European and Pacific theater - have transported over one and a half million people on the city's most unique, educational, and fun tour. In recognition of all the veterans who served our country, Boston Duck Tours is, for the fourth year in a row, offering free rides to all war-and-peacetime veterans during the week of Veterans Day, November 6 through 10.

"All a United States veteran has to do is show some proof of service," says Boston Duck Tours General Manager, Cindy Brown. "That proof can be your discharge papers, a membership card in a veteran's organization, medals, ribbons, we'll even accept signed or oral statements from a former superior officer. Our goal is to make veterans from every service feel welcomed and, in our own way, to say thanks to them for their sacrifices."

Veterans and non-veterans alike will be entertained by Boston Duck Tours' squadron of tour guides, also known as ConDUCKtors. These men and women are not only well-versed in Boston history (as well as being Coast Guard registered captains), but each presents the tour in his own quirky style, persona, and costume.It is said that because each ConDUCKtor brings so many unique qualities to the tour, one can ride Boston Duck Tours several times and have a new experience each time.
