Phil Taylor's next portrait is Army Staff Sergeant Bryan Burgess. Bryan was killed in March 2011 when his platoon was ambushed during Operation Strong Eagle III, a mission to apprehend one of Osama Bin Laden's top commanders in Afghanistan. In order to complete the portrait, Phil meets Bryan's family in Texas to find out how the events of 9/11 inspired Bryan to enlist, his natural talent as a Soldier and leader, and Bryan's deep love for his wife and two children. Phil uses this knowledge to bring life to Bryan's portrait and healing to the Burgess family.
