West Point's alumni association canceled an award ceremony honoring Tom Hanks, originally slated to receive the Sylvanus Thayer Award for his contributions to portraying American service members and veterans. The cancellation follows other changes at the academy under the Trump administration, including rollbacks of diversity initiatives. While the reason for the cancellation isn't explicitly stated, Hanks' support for President Biden's campaign may be a contributing factor.
