saluter
Shows military respect
A saluter is someone who salutes—typically a person offering a formal gesture of respect or greeting.
The word appears most often in military contexts, where saluting is customary: The saluter held his hand to his brow until the officer passed.
It can also describe anyone who acknowledges or honors something: saluters of the flag.
