Plot Synopsis

BRUSH OF HONOR, narrated by Gary Sinise, is a half-hour reality series that follows artist Phil Taylor, co-founder of The American Fallen Soldiers Project, as he travels across the United States to learn about service members so he can accurately reflect each fallen hero's true spirit in a hand-painted original portrait and hand-deliver the work of art to surviving family members. He visits the service member's hometown, meets with family members and friends, and starts to understand the heart of the hero and the kind of upbringing that leads a young service member to willingly serve and lay down his or her life for our nation. Along the way, a portrait of a hero begins to form in Phil's mind, and he races back home to Texas to capture it on canvas. While Phil works on the painting for two to three weeks, his wife, Lisa, organizes a ceremony where the never-before-seen portrait is revealed and presented to the service member's family, who hang the portrait in the family home. Since the inception of The American Fallen Soldiers Project in 2007, over 130 portraits have been painted and presented to the families of America's fallen military across the United States.
