When 5 year-old Braydon Dowell was chosen from the stands at a recent minor league baseball game, never could he have imagined the surprise that awaited him.

Over the 4th of July weekend, Braydon, the son of US Army Sargeant Adam Dowell, was "randomly" chosen at a Tennessee Smokies game to come out and "Dance In The Dark". After being blind-folded, Braydon began shaking it to Miley Cyrus' "Party In The USA"; after the song was over, he removed his blindfold to discover that his prize for comepeting was standing there in a gray t-shirt.

Sgt Dowell was returning from a 10-month deployment and stood there waiting to surprise his son while he danced. When Braydon removed his blindfold, he spun around and could not contain the excitement, running and jumping into his dad's arms.

And as the old saying goes...."the crowd went while". Welcome home Sgt Dowell, and thank you for your service.
