WASHINGTON -- Vice President Dick Cheney will be in Boston on July Fourth to attend a ceremony aboard the USS Constitution.
Cheney spokeswoman Megan Mitchell says Cheney will attend Friday's military reenlistment ceremony on the historic warship, known as "Old Ironsides."
The Constitution was commissioned in 1797 and is docked at Boston's historic Charlestown Naval Yard, a national park. The ship never lost a battle, from fighting pirates in the Caribbean to British in the War of 1812.
