Phil Taylor's next portrait is of fallen Airman, Captain Derek Argel, who was killed in Iraq on May 30th, 2005. Before Phil starts the painting process, he travels to Florida to meet Derek's family and discover what drove this gifted athlete to pursue a career in the United States Air Force and train among elite Special Forces to become a Combat Controller. Back at his studio in Texas, Phil is determined to bring this American hero back to life on canvas in order to thank Derek for his sacrifice and help heal the hearts of those he left behind.
