The West Point Association of Graduates recently decided to cancel an honorary ceremony for Tom Hanks.
The 69-year-old actor was due to receive the Sylvanus Thayer Award at the event on September 25, celebrating his long relationship with the U.S. Army. Alongside the reward, he was scheduled to meet a number of West Point Cadets, unfortunately for any fans of Hanks, it seems it wont be so.
Mark Bieger, president of the West Point Association of Graduates, believes that the U.S. Army should instead focus on its core missions: training the next generation of officers and preparing for combat.
Tom Hanks, “destructive and woke”?
President Donald Trump was delighted by the decision, as he is clearly not the biggest fan of Tom Hanks, having described him as destructive and WOKE.
