The Prince William County School Board voted unanimously Wednesday to name a new elementary school in honor of Chris Yung, a county police officer and Iraq war veteran who died in the line of duty.

He was killed in a motorcycle crash on Dec. 31, 2012, at the intersection of Nokesville Road (Route 28) and Piper Lane in Bristow while responding to a separate automobile accident on Nokesville Road. Yung (in photo) served on the police force for seven years and had lived in Bristow for six years.

The new school is under construction at 12612 Fog Light Way in Bristow. A dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Aug. 27, according to an announcement from the Prince William school system.
