Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy,
forget in time that men have died to win them.

To the families and loved ones of our Fallen Heroes,


It is my desire that each portrait translate the deep appreciation I have for your beloved soldier’s service and sacrifice to our nation. Your loss can never be replaced, but I pray this gift can be a place of peace and reflection in your time of need. Please know that I approach each portrait with great respect and a broken heart. Thoughts of honor, bravery and valor remain constant in my mind as I paint and look upon your loved one’s face. I want to personally thank you for the opportunity to give something back to those who have given so much. Because it is impossible to meet you all, I promise to never forget your beloved. Their impression, appearance and presence will remain forever sketched in my soul.

Respectfully,

philtaylor
