You can find the answer to this on page 24 in book one of the Hunger Games as well as here:
In the book it says,
"It means thanks, it means admiration, it means good-bye to someone you love."

∙ 11y agoThe silent salute is a District 12 tradition. It is a sign of admiration, respect, thanks and love rolled into one. It was commonly used at events like funerals, or just to show extreme respect and thanks.
On your left hand, reach your thumb over to fold your pinky over. Your pointer finger, middle finger, and ring fingers should stay up in the air together.

∙ 11y agowell the silent salute is a way of showing respect and that they care about each other.
this is often used by district 12.....but it touched katniss when (in catching fire) during the tribute parade Rue's district did such a thing in front of the capitol. :)

∙ 11y agoWhat it means: The 'silent salute' is basically a gesture that means 'goodbye' and 'I will always love you'. It originated in District 12, but spread to District 11 and others when it is used toward Katniss during the 74th Reaping.
How to do it: Raise your left hand. Touch your lips with the middle three fingers of that hand. Now hold you arm straight up, your right arm still by your side. You have officially done the Three-finger Salute of District 12
