Pithy message can I share with 4th of July parade participants?

Will you please help me come up with a phrase or message I can make tonight to hang in our picture window tomorrow?
Most years our neighborhood puts on a quaint Independence Day parade (think kids on decorated bikes, etc.) and we walk to the end of the block to watch and wave. This year, to mind social distancing, neighbors will parade in decorated vehicles with a new route that goes past our house.
I would love to be able to share a festive message in our window to help acknowledge the community spirit, but I am having trouble coming up with something short, positive, and non-partisan.

Best answer: "Let Freedom Ring" is a classic, and to my knowledge not yet co-opted by either side of the partisan divide. Drawing of the Liberty Bell optional.
"Together in Spirit" or "Together in Heart" emphasizes the solidarity of the community even while physically distancing.

Best answer: Short, positive and nonpartisan? Black lives matter.
