Tom Hanks Launched a New Coffee Brand to Support Veterans

Now you can wake up to a hot cup of "Hanx."

Throughout his 40-year career, Tom Hanks has achieved almost everything it's possible to achieve. He's loaded his shelves with a pair of Oscars, seven Emmys, and a stack of other awards. He even received a Presidential Medal of Freedom. And, other than the eternally flawless Dolly Parton, there may not be another person on the planet who is as universally adored as Tom "I've Even Played Mr. Rogers" Hanks.

The 66-year-old Hanks continues to be endearing with the debut of Hanx for Our Troops, his new ethically sourced and environmentally sustainable coffee company. As the name suggests, the company's mission is to support veterans and their families, with all profits going toward organizations that support U.S. military members. Among the company’s first partners are the Bob Woodruff Foundation, Headstrong, Hire Heroes USA, and Student Veterans of America.

"We saw Hanx as a way to support Veterans and military families, as 100% of the profits go to organizations that have proven to be of great aid to those who have served our country," the Hanx for our Troops website reads. "Our products support all those who have served America — past and present — on active duty, as Veterans, and their families. By choosing our coffee, you help support those who chose to commit their time and efforts in defense of our liberties for the good cause that is the American Way. Every penny of profit says ‘thank you’ to them. We owe them our gratitude, eh?"

There are currently three coffee-preparation options available for purchase through the Hanx website. The products include First Class Joe 100% arabica ground coffee ($16 per bag), available in medium and dark roasts; three styles of coffee pods — Tom's Morning Magic Blend, Sgt. Peppermint, and First Class Joe — that can be bought in boxes of 18 ($16) or 100 ($75); and just-add-water instant coffee sticks ($12) in the Tom's Morning Magic Blend and First Class Joe varieties.

In addition to selling what Hanks calls "damn good coffee," the Hanx website provides information about the organizations it supports so everyone can learn more. It also features a "Band of Brands" to highlight other veteran-owned, veteran-founded, or veteran-supporting businesses and has short Q&As with almost a dozen vets and active duty military members.

All products are scheduled to start shipping before the holidays. Giving someone a box of Tom's Morning Magic blend doesn't automatically make you as delightful as Tom Hanks, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.

He would have done more for veterans by not supporting Obama.

Do people really vote for Obama, or anyone, because Tom Hanks tells them to?

What’s this about? Does Tom hope to be elected mayor of Beverly Hills? Selling coffee is easier than paying for another ghost written book.

This isn’t about making money or bringing a legit product to market. It’s his handlers marketing his image. It looks like a business venture, but it’s really just more makeup for the star. FTH. AND, he should have popped Corporal Upham when he wanted to bring a typewriter on the mission. FTH

How well did Hanks play on Epstein’s island?

No way!
The Qtards tell us that Tom Hanks is a peddyfile.
Because of a facial expression at some award show.

That’s PROOF, you betcha.

So long as he doesn’t donate to Act Blue on a couple of occasions like Black Rifle Coffee did.

He doesn’t look well. He has a nightmare of a son that may be taking a toll on him.

At least he is trying to do something to help veterans.

He went on SNL and did a skit mocking Trump supporters.

Tom Hanks is so powerful it is very hard to find the video of him exposing himself on Bosom Buddies. Every once in awhile I will see it on twitter before the Overlords erase it.

You can see it here

He should be cancelled for this using the current Woke standards.

We ought to atta-boy the good things Hanks does, especially his pro-America things (money for veterans, his push years ago to have the WW2 memorial built, Saving Private Ryan, Apollo 13) as loudly as we criticize him for the other stuff (supporting America-hating Obama, making fun of Republicans).

Yeah, but do you have any proof he ISN’T a kiddler?
I didn’t think so...
