July 25, 2012 (YARMOUTH) _ Governor Deval Patrick will sign a bill today naming a bridge in Yarmouth after a local Marine killed in Afghanistan.

Patrick will sign the bill at the Statehouse with State Representative Demetrius Atsalis and members of the Xiarhos family on hand.

The overpass will be named the Marine Cpl. Nicholas G. Xiarhos Veterans Memorial Overpass.
