Bomanite Custom Polishing System using Bomante Patene Teres in Bomanite Black Orchit creates stunning decorative concrete flooring at The American Fallen Soldiers Project Gallery.

During a funeral of childhood friend Capt. Blake Russell, who had been killed in Iraq in 2006, professional artist Phil Taylor was inspired by stories told of Blake’s patriotism and courage. Phil knew that he wanted to contribute to the Russell family’s healing process, so he painted a portrait of his childhood friend for them.  It was one act of kindness that he hoped would help.

The family’s reaction to the portrait changed Phil’s life forever and he began the American Fallen Soldiers Project. Since its inception in 2007, over 220 portraits have been painted and presented as a gift to Gold Star families of fallen soldiers all over the country at no cost to the families. 

This decorative concrete flooring creates just the right mood with Bomanite Custom Polishig System using Bomanite Patene Teres in Bomanite Black Orchid.

In 2016 The American Fallen Soldiers Project National Gallery opened its doors with 5,000 square feet of gallery and office space.  The decorative concrete floors were installed by licensee Texas Bomanite and consisted of 3,040 square feet of dyed and polished concrete in Bomanite’s Black Orchid using Bomanite Patene Teres system polished to a 400 grit.  The Polyurea Joint Filler was in the color Gauntlet Grey.  To keep costs down for this very special project, Texas Bomanite discounted the retail price as a donation towards the project’s success and was honored to be part of this special space.

When the requirement is a a decorative concrete floor that shines and reflects, the only choice is Bomanite Custom Polishing System using Bomanite Patene Teres.

The beautiful elegant gallery is a place of peace and solace through art and displays in a setting of inspiration and healing.  An especially poignant display is an American flag with the stripes covered by photos of the fallen.  In his portraiture work, Phil Taylor takes special care in not only capturing the features but the actual essence of the fallen soldier he is painting.  It is not just a typical portrait painting, but more the life and energy, the appearance and the personality, of the person represented on canvas.  By telling the stories of those who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice, the gallery strives to change the lives of generations to come.  It truly is a Portrait Gallery Like No Other.
