A Rosedale bridge has been memorialized for a fallen Vietnam war veteran.

Governor Joe Manchin announced the formal naming of a new bridge entering the town of Rosedale on Route 9.

The bridge will be called the Daniel Ferrell Tallman Memorial Bridge.

It will be a lasting memorial to PFC Tallman who was killed in combat during the Vietnam War on November 24, 1965.

Tallman was a lifelong resident of Braxton County who grew up in Rosedale.

Members of his family were honored guests at the Governor's office recently to receive a proclamation officially naming the bridge.
