All I can say is thank you, as the ladies and gentlemen of the Alabama Marine Police were out in full force this weekend, putting in, I am sure, long hours and from I saw at the event the handled themselves in a very professional manner.

SO KUDOs to you guys for a great and safe weekend never before seen on Lake Martin !!!!

I'd be very interested to hear the estimates of number of boats and number of people in attendance at start of Alan Jackson at 6 pm. Thanks

Hey Hey and 3 cheers for the Alabama Marine Police.....

I know you guys and girls get a cold shoulder from the general public and the non locals that is equivalent to the black plague.

I see how people fold up shop ditch the beer cans and slink away around the Rock when you guys roar in ... LOL. guilt breeds guilt......

But you guys are great! You did a fantastic job for this event. If I ever catch any of you off duty I want to buy you a Beer or a soft drink, any thing you like. it's on me.

You guys did a great job in keeping my boat from sinking and all the other stuff you did that was pretty darn cool and out right amazing to..

My hats off to you all......

That has to have been the best coordinated, and orchestrated event I have ever seen in my life considering the number of people. And you ALL had smiles all around the entire time....

Get some sleep my weary friends in the Blue and Grey... you deserve every bit of it!!!

3 Chere's for the Alabama Marine Police and there outstanding performance.
