  1. It was a salute he deserved after forty years standing at attention and not blinking as each one passed him by and trod heavily in his dust making footprints that led nowhere and back again around his neck like a noose.

  2. I do it everytime I’m in the presence of someone higher in the SOLDIER ladder than me. Although, I’m already second class, so that’s pretty hard to beat! Thank god because I hate being so stuffy and respectful.

  3. “People are gonna be saluting you wherever you go, kid.” I said, coughing a bit.

    “Oh my God, Isabelle, don’t say that.” He held he to his chest and I don’t know if he knew it was to keep me from crying.

    “You’re a hero, Danny.” I said. “Congratulations.”

  4. He saluted his captain, with a final, regretful look at the lifeless body. A single tear ran down his face. “Men shouldn’t cry…” he thought.

  5. Welcome to the way things will be for the rest of your life, watch the way the wind tumbles around you. Salute yourself to the sous of everything dark in your heart, beware of what you’re going to be. No one has any idea what’s going to happen anymore, no one knows what will be. Just wave away the world and hop onto a boat that’ll carry away your dreams.

  6. A show of honor towards an individual or group. Examples include: When a powerful individual is walking by, in some countries it is customary to salute them. In the US Army, and most other armies, you salute the general.

  9. The coffin moved forward slowly. The man inside was no longer a man, just flesh; he was a harrowing self-portrait, no longer identifiable. They stood around him, guns to the air, and saluted him. Righteously. That’s all they knew to do.

  10. All 48 hands went up at once, and Jacob stood aghast. He didn’t think it would be that easy. He didn’t think that it would work. He smiled, nervously, and the crowd smiled back. Dammit.

  11. hand lowered from her salute, she cocks her head to the left and smiles, it would be like this with him all semester…

  12. Salute? This is a strange word. I like this word though. It makes me think that someone is in charge and everything is in order. I don’t like not having a plan for things. It makes me nervous. Sydney and I decided that’s how we’re most different last night. And I can be a bitch and she can’t be.. lol

  13. I would like to salute to all those worthy. It will take me longer than a minute to think of many, or even one. So I will be vague, Salute!

  18. When I was younger there was a jump rope came involving saluting the captain and the queen, and something about a submarine. I never got that far…I wasn’t a very good jump roper. Double dutch was way out of my league, too.

  19. I have no idea what to salute. I guess it’s a good indication when you don’t know what is sacred or high in life anymore, I don’t know who or what I bow to.

  20. Oneword.com, you are a service that encourages the mental health of people everywhere. You provide us with the opportunity to exercise the portions of our mind that are responsible for creativity, speech, thinking ahead while writing, and grasping for words within our vocabulary. By doing these things regularly our social lives become much easier, our writing skills become more honed, and we become much happier people. So I salute thee, oneword.com. Wooooord up!

  21. I cry as I bend down and feel the scraps on me knees, the bruises on my inner thighs, the terror that will lie with me forever. I shouldn’t have trusted him. I shouldn’t have followed him.

    and daddy’s breathe always tickled my throat.

  24. erik saluted the statue in a cheesy, ironic manor. “yes SIR!” he yelled and giggled. joining the army was the stupidest idea he had ever had.

  25. I salute you, in all that you are. In all that you stand for, in all that you wish to be. You are the person I aspire to be, you are the person I dream of, you are the person I want. And you don’t even know. I salute you.

  26. The army. And also French because it looks like a French word to me, which reminds me of my crazy Grandmere and her obsession with perfectionism and flowers and gardening and baking. I wish I could bake like her, but I don’t envy her the alocholism.

  29. We who are about to write crap salute you! I can’t type when I’m drinking, but today I’m doing quiet well. Oh well. Salutations, amici. Abadaxis has left the building.

  30. I’ve never saluted a person in real life before. I’ve considered this as it shows respect and it might also be a sentiment – something that defines me as unique, cute, peculiar. But when I think of people or things that I respect I can only think of inspirational people who are famous. Maybe I should salute myself in the mirror from time to time; a sign that I’m developing respect for myself.

  37. I throw up a one finger salute to you and your backwards thinking. “Go fuck yourself!” you yell in response, walking down the road in a childish huff. Thinking back, I should have punched you in the nose, showing you that even through you’re taller, I’m not afraid.
