Who is there to salute? The medal does not rate a salute, the person who earned it rates the salute. In this case they are deceased.
A medal of honor given posthumously refers to recipients receiving this award after death
Anyone wearing the uniform of the USA is eligible to be awarded the Medal of Honor.
The Medal of Honor is bestowed to military personal who distinguish themselves against the enemy at high risk to their own lives while in combat. They go beyond the call of duty in their actions. Quite often it is bestowed upon them posthumously. This is the highest medal to be awarded.
It is called a posthumous medal.
The US Medal of Honor puts the recipient in a pretty exclusive club. It entitles the recipient to a LIFETIME PENSION, they are saluted by EVERYONE who passes them, whether officer or not, and I believe their sons and daughters, if they desire, have what amounts to an automatic acceptance to US Military schools (West Point, Annapolis, etc.)
Commissioned Officers and Warrant Officers are saluted by all enlisted personnel. Commissioned Officers of subordinate rank are required to salute other Commissioned Officers of higher rank. All military personnel are required to salute recipients of the medal of honor regardless of rank.
No. Enlisted personnel typically aren't saluted, except under special circumstances (e.g., when being reported to, Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, etc.)

"Posthumously" means the Medal was awarded after the death of the recipient. More than half of WWII Medals of Honor were posthumous. There were only some 460 or so awarded for the entire war, among all branches of the service, and among the 16 million Americans in the service in WWII.
The first Medal of Honor was just called medal of honor
