It is my honor to share with all of you, again...

a new television series premiering this week on INSP:

'Brush of Honor' 

 

Narrated by actor Gary Sinise, 'Brush of Honor' will take you on an incredible emotional journey of patriotism, the reality of war, and sacrifice.

"In INSP’s original series Brush of Honor, artist Phil Taylor is on a mission to paint portraits of America’s fallen heroes and hand-deliver them to surviving family members across the country. One painting at a time, he touches the lives of grieving parents, spouses, and children who have lost loved ones at war." --- Via INSP


-- BRUSH OF HONOR --Please watch this incredible Video Clip, that details this new series...

 

I have had the privilege to preview upcoming episodes of Brush of Honor. The stories are heartwarming, engaging, impactful. Such loss is often hard to comprehend, and yet... seeing the faces of those our country has lost, those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, is a precious opportunity for viewers, and a cherished gift for the families they left behind.

What artist Phil Taylor does for each of these families is truly amazing. It is a ministry as he gives each of them back just a little bit of what they have lost. Just to see the face of their loved one again, is priceless.

 

Thank you to all these families, who have shared these stories of your sons and daughters with all of us. As Americans, who live in a country, where we are free...we are blessed and honored to hear their story of bravery. God bless all of you!

PRESS RELEASE via INSP:

Indian Land, SC – INSP announced the premiere of an original series, Brush of Honor, scheduled to debut on May 21st with an encore presentation on Memorial Day. The announcement was made by Doug Butts, SVP of Programming.

Brush of Honor follows artist Phil Taylor as he honors America’s fallen soldiers in a unique tribute. In each episode, Phil embarks on a journey to learn as much as he can about a particular soldier in order to accurately reflect the fallen hero’s true spirit in a hand-painted original portrait. He visits the soldier’s hometown and meets with family members, friends and comrades. Through this process, he gains a clearer understanding of what leads these young men and women to serve and lay down their lives for our country.

“This is much more than just a work of art,” Butts explained. “Phil has a way of capturing the spirit of each service member. Whether it’s a contagious smile, a twinkle in the eye, or a palpable love of country, Phil is able to infuse each portrait with the essence of the soldier’s life, and ‘bring them home.’”

Each episode culminates in a powerful “reveal” orchestrated by Phil’s wife, Lisa, in which the portrait is presented to the family. “These become a celebration of life,” continued Butts, “with special ceremonies featuring local and national personalities, military personnel, and others who were a meaningful part of the service member’s life. While the series evokes deep emotion, it also is extremely heartwarming. Joy and laughter weave throughout each episode as family and friends recollect humorous moments and uplifting stories. It’s quite moving.”

Dale Ardizzone, COO of INSP, couldn’t agree more. “The series is a natural fit for our network,” he said. “It perfectly blends with our line-up of wholesome, family-oriented content. And it has multi-generational appeal. We are proud to honor our fallen heroes with this series and are confident that the show will resonate with INSP’s current audience, as well as attract new viewers.”

Brush of Honor is produced for INSP by Austin Street Productions and Wellington Entertainment. The first episode premieres Thursday, May 21, 2015 at 9:00pm ET. Then, in a special Memorial Day presentation, two episodes will air at 9:00pm ET. For more information, visit www.insp.com.
