TOM HANKS IS well-known for pulling off the odd sound gesture here and there.

Remember that time he found a student’s ID and tweeted it out so that she’d be able to retrieve it?

Today, he’s helping out another group of people who might need it: White House reporters.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper shared a collection of images this afternoon of a present Hanks had delivered to the journalists in Washington. He wrote:

“This is the third time over the last few years that Mr. @tomhanks has sent a brand new espresso machine to the White House press corps”

The tradition continues.

He even included this great note

Not a bad message to receive when the Washington journalists arrived in this morning:

To the White House Press Corps

Keep up the good fight for Truth, Justice and the American Way.

Especially the Truth part.

And Tapper included a picture of the machine itself for good measure

Sound man, Tom.
