Almost salute decaying US location (5)
I believe the answer is:
tulsa
'us location' is the definition.
'Tulsa' can be an answer for 'location' (Tulsa is an example). I'm not certain of the 'us' bit.
'almost salute decaying' is the wordplay.
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'decaying' indicates an anagram (the original order breaks down).
'salute' with its last letter taken off is 'salut'.
'salut' is an anagram of 'TULSA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tulsa that I've seen before include "US city" , "Oklahoman city" , "Oklahoma city featured in a 1960s pop song" , "A lust for the Oklahoma oil city?" , "An OK place" .)
