Good morning my friend COL Mikel J. Burroughs thank you for reminding us of the time honored tradition of saluting.
In the military and at the highest level of our government, the junior initiates the salute and the senior individual returns it. The saluting is not complete until it is returned. Salute is indeed a sign of mutual respect. I learned long ago to salute crisply whenever somebody else salutes me.
Images: Donald Trump Salute, Melania Trump and General Mark Miley Salute -Jan-20-2017-Saluting; President Barack Obama salutes Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen; President Barack Obama salutes Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen; Salute; President Ronald Reagan Salutes West Point

I concur with you that the "Salute" option on RallyPoint this is a great way to show somebody on RallyPoint that you appreciate their comments, responses, posts, or you just want to acknowledge them when you've already endorsed them or voted them up.
Many are still unfamiliar with the process especially since when we view our profile we don't see the Salute button when we view somebody else we do. :-)

As newly commissioned officers at West Point, the tradition was to give some money to the first person who saluted us after graduation. At times on military posts, I like many others have had soldiers come 3to 4 meters after each other allow a sidewalk so that I saluted many times :-)

I salute you my friends and in Christ I salute my brothers and sisters in the Lord.

May the Lord bless each one today who trusts in HIM with a fuller understanding and recognition of HIS love for each of us, HIS grace, HIS Mercy and I pray HE blesses us with compassion and respect for each we come into contact with.

I like this quote by Albert Einstein which I try to live by:

“I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.” COL Mikel J. Burroughs
