It did not say it was cancelled because he would not get it either.

Until you show me something that reverses the award decision, you are clueless.

I don't really have anything against Hanks, fine actor. However, can you tell me what he's done that touches the U.S. Military Academy at West Point tradition of "Duty, Honor, Country?" He's an actor portraying a character. They give awards for doing that, it's theater not Duty.

I think #17 sums it up. How come no belting about Biden?

West Point, NY: The West Point Association of Graduates (WPAOG) is pleased to announce that actor/writer/director/producer and philanthropist Tom Hanks will receive the 2025 Sylvanus Thayer Award, which has been given annually since 1958 to an outstanding citizen of the United States whose service and accomplishments in the national interest exemplify personal devotion to the ideals expressed in West Point’s motto: “Duty, Honor, Country.” The award will be presented on September 25, 2025, during ceremonies hosted by the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.​
​
“Tom Hanks has done more for the positive portrayal of the American service member, more for the caring of the American veteran, their caregivers and their family, and more for the American space program and all branches of government than many other Americans,” says the Honorable Robert A. McDonald, Class of 1975, WPAOG Board Chairman.​

Trump will happily throw anyone from the military under the bus if he feels like it.
Service means nothing to him and he thinks military service is for suckers.

Yes, I can tell you that.

West Point, NY: The West Point Association of Graduates (WPAOG) is pleased to announce that actor/writer/director/producer and philanthropist Tom Hanks will receive the 2025 Sylvanus Thayer Award, which has been given annually since 1958 to an outstanding citizen of the United States whose service and accomplishments in the national interest exemplify personal devotion to the ideals expressed in West Point’s motto: “Duty, Honor, Country.” The award will be presented on September 25, 2025, during ceremonies hosted by the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

McDonald, Class of 1975, WPAOG Board Chairman.

Much of Hanks’ five-decade career reflects his support of veterans, the military, and America’s space program. In 1999, Hanks joined Senator Bob Dole, a 2004 Thayer Award recipient, as national spokesperson for the World War II Memorial in Washington, DC. Continuing his commitment to honor those who serve, in 2015, the actor lent his support to Dole’s fundraiser to create the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial in Washington, DC. He has also served as national chairperson of the D-Day Museum Capital Campaign.

The fact is, we simply do not know if he will still receive the award, which appears to go against Trump's wishes. Considering Trump is on a Retribution Tour, its reasonable to consider he may not get it at all.

That is explained in the award announcement that has now been linked at least three time. At least I was the first to link it.
