Request a Portrait
The American Fallen Soldiers Project provides, upon request, hand painted original portraits of America's fallen heroes to their families free of charge.
We also have available reproduction prints on canvas for other immediate family members who did not receive the original painting.
Each original portrait and canvas reproduction print is provided mounted and framed.
Portraits may be requested by the primary next of kin or other familymember of a fallen American military serviceman who has died duringactive duty in the Afghanistan, Iraq, or previous wars. However, if the portrait is requested by a distant or non-family member, we do ask that the original portrait be given to the immediate family and a canvas reproduction print will be made available to additional immediate family members.
INSTRUCTIONS -- HOW TO REQUEST A PORTRAIT OF YOUR FALLEN SERVICEMAN --
Online requests and photograph submission is preferred, but if you cannot submit your form andpictures online, you may download and print the Mail-In Request form below and mail your submissionalong with your photographs to the address listed. Photographssubmitted via mail will not be returned.

STEP 2: While submitting the Online Request Form , please attach up to 5 high-resolution, quality photographs of your loved one. Choose pictures that reveal the detail of their face clearly and up close. This helps the artist capture your loved one's personality and physical characteristics. If you need an example of the type of pictures you should choose, please see the Fallen Soldiers Gallery on our website.
The portrait will be painted from one of the photographs submitted and will be chosen by the artist. Images submitted do not have to be in military dress. We do not blend multiple photographs or remove goggles, hats, etc. for the portrait as this may distort the final results. Please submit photographs that you would want to be representative of your loved one for a lifetime.

If you are using the Mail-In Request Form you may send it to --

STEP 4: When it is time to begin your portrait we will contact you either via email or telephone to discuss your portrait’s delivery date, time and type of delivery. Then, during the painting process, Phil Taylor will talk with you, usually via email, regarding any questions he may have about your loved one while also updating you as to the portrait’s progress.
Our desire is to make a profound and lasting impact while also providing a place where you can spend time with your loved one when you need them most. We work diligently to restore a sense of life and presence of our fallen American heroes on canvas and it is this commitment to excellence that defines our portraits, our staff, and our organization. Because of the amount of time and care we put into each portrait and because we try to personally deliver as many as possible in a special memorial event or privately, our portrait completion time can take up to 24-36 months.
Thank you for allowing Phil Taylor and The American Fallen Soldiers Project the honor to paint your fallen loved one.
