Martin is well known in Clarksville for his extensive and expansive collection of paintings that hang in homes and businesses throughout the city. Kay Martin, Larry’s wife, is a retired educator, having served more than 32 years in the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System.

Lyndel Littleton, currently Minister of Music & Worship at Hilldale Baptist Church in Clarksville, was commissioned by Rep. Joe and TSVH Clarksville Chaplain Cynthia Pitts to create a stained glass piece entitled “America the Beautiful” in honor of all Tennessee Veterans and their families.

Dan Hanley designed the piece, and Beverly Parker contributed her talents to the work to make it one of a kind anywhere in the state or nation. Hanley and Parker are accomplished artists in their own right.

“Both pieces of art are unique, beautiful and will make a statement in our recently opened facility,” said Pitts. “And they are extra special because Larry and Lyndel are local artists, and share our community’s love of our military and their families.”
