BOSTON (WHDH) -- Boston Harbor Cruises is hosting special cruises to help wounded warriors.

Free 90-minute sightseeing cruises are being offered on the harbor for soldiers and their families.

The events are for the Wounded Warrior Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping soldiers re-adjust when they come back from overseas.

"It's rather difficult but hanging out with other vets on a day like this really helps us out with the reintegration process," one man said.

This week, Boston Harbor Cruises will donate $1 of every ticket sold to the Wounded Warrior Project, helping to fund 18 of its programs.
