unsaluted
Given no gesture
Unsaluted describes someone or something that has not received a salute—whether the literal military gesture or a figurative acknowledgment of respect.
A soldier might pass unsaluted if not recognized; an achievement might go unsaluted if overlooked: His contributions to the field remained unsaluted for decades.
