Col. Phil Deppert, commandant of the Defense Language

Col. Phil Deppert, commandant of the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center, Presidio of Monterey, California, and Father George Khoury, associate professor of Levantine at the Institute, unveil the St. Jerome icon in the Presidio Chapel Sept. 11. The icon will be displayed in the Aiso Library on the Presidio. St. Jerome became inducted as the patron saint of DLI and of military linguists. Linguists now join with other military career fields who have followed in this tradition. (U.S. Army photo by Patrick Bray/Released)
