West Point cancel ceremony to honour Tom Hanks as outstanding US citizen'
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"A West Point alumni group has abruptly canceled its upcoming award ceremony for Oscar-winning actor and prominent President Joe Biden supporter Tom Hanks. The prestigious U.S. Military Academy, located north of New York City, had planned to honor the 69-year-old Forrest Gump star with the Sylvanus Thayer Award at a ceremony on September 25. The award is traditionally presented to an outstanding citizen who is not an alumnus of the academy but exemplifies its ideals of duty, honor, and country."
Independent sends reporters to cover issues from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, investigating financials and producing documentaries while relying on donations and avoiding paywalls to keep journalism free. The outlet appeals for support to continue sending journalists to report from both sides. A West Point alumni group abruptly canceled an award ceremony scheduled for September 25 to honor Tom Hanks with the Sylvanus Thayer Award. The award recognizes outstanding citizens who exemplify duty, honor, and country. Retired Col. Mark Bieger said the cancellation allows the Academy to focus on preparing cadets; it was unclear whether the honor was revoked or would be conferred differently.
