Kick Butt Tip: Katie Holmes Says That Dreams Really Do Come True

Today's Kick Butt Tip of the Day is from American actress and director Katie Holmes, “We all keep dreaming, and luckily dreams really do come true.”

Most people know the name Katie Holmes from movies like "Mad Money," "Jack and Jill," "Batman Begins" and "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark." Holmes was also married to actor Tom Cruise for 6 years.

Now, if you ask my wife Debbie about her favorite Katie Holmes role, she would say Holmes portrayal of Jacqueline Kennedy in the tv series "The Kennedy's."

Every time I find myself in a discussion with someone about dreams and goals or when I'm sitting down looking over my personal list of dreams and goals, a famous Walt Disney quote comes to mind.

Years ago, Walt Disney said "all our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them." Take a moment to notice the biggest little word in the world, if. Thank goodness someone captured those special words.

Now if you are a fan of country music, I am sure you know the name Jelly Roll. As a young man, life was extremely challenging for Jelly Roll and also for his family. Just a few short years ago, Jelly Roll was actually behind bars serving time in prison. Once his sentence was served and as he was leaving to regain his freedom, he stopped and told his fellow inmates, "the next time I see you, I will be playing Madison Square Garden in New York City. On September 27, 2024, that dream will come true as Jelly Roll, will in fact be in concert at Madison Square Garden.

If there were ever a list compiled of master dreamers, Walt Disney's name would certainly be on that list. With Walt Disney, the dream of Disneyland came true. Disney dared to dream and then dared to make it happen. Sadly, Disney died before his dream of Disney World opened in Orlando, Florida.

For Jelly Roll, while incarcerated, he could see himself onstage playing in the Big Apple.

It all started with a dream followed by taking action on that dream.

If the temperatures weren't hot enough on the field, Flo Rida certainly elevated things to cap off a wild 2024 4that the Fort celebration Saturday at Fort Liberty.

The hip hop star known for his hits like "Right Round," "My House," "Low," "Good Feeling," and "Club Can't Handle Me" was the final act on a big day (that ended with a late night).

The day started with the 82nd Rock Band performing in the afternoon heat, which reached temperatures into the mid-90s. That was followed by the always incredible Golden Knights parachute demonstration team.

And then one of the signature moments of the annual Independence Celebration on post, Don Chase and KC from the Big 95.7 KML emceed the Flag Ceremony. With the cannons firing off salutes for all 50 states, plus for every command and subordinate command unit on Fort Liberty, it's a memorable moment for everyone.

Award-winning country duo Maddie & Tae then got the headliner concerts going, with performances of their hits, including "Girl in a Country Song," and "Die From a Broken Heart."

Pop-rock group The Plain White T's had probably the moment of the day, with a big crowd belting out the massive hit song "Hey There Delilah." Lead singer Tom Higgenson also lamented on the heat, wondering if it was always like this down here.

And then after a mysterious late start, Flo Rida finally took the stage for his performance. The high-energy set featured all his hits, plus lots of interaction with the crowd, including a couple of journeys into the middle of the Parade Ground on the shoulders of one of his team members.

The night was capped off with a huge fireworks display - albeit a delayed one, to celebrate America.

The annual event put on by the Fort Liberty MWR team was held on Saturday, instead of on July 4 itself, so that military families could celebrate the long holiday weekend together.
