We are driving west on the LIE and like about 3 or 4 overpasses they had firetruck ladders extended holding the American flag. Its going on around exit 43.

This means it a funeral procession for a current or retired firefigher.

I saw one like this a few weeks ago. Very moving, but very sad

I think the Funeral for the NYPD Solider killed in Iraq was today...it may have been for that.
I know for Jimmy, the 1st NYPD officer killed in Iraq; they shut down Middle Country Rd in Centereach and brought out all the fire trucks and police cars for the funeral procession

oh thanks for posting this i didn't know what was going on either, it was very touching!
there was also about 20 parked police cars on the side of the LIE today. i believe they were waiting for the procession and then heading to pinelawn.
