Early Life
Stephen Sandstorm spent his early childhood in a politically active home. Instead of watching television, Stephen's parents would teach their children about American History, Politics, and the constitution. As a boy Stephen was riding his bicycle into Provo, Utah when he came across some campaign literature. He decided to help the candidate get the word out by passing out this literature. A short time later, he was awarded the boy scouts of America's eagle scout award. As a young man Stephen heard a P.O.W. speak and this influenced his desire to later join the military. At the age of 17 he merited his pilots licence. At the age of 19 he left to serve an honorable Latter-Day Saint mission. When Stephen came home from his Mission, he decided to join the military.

“How many inner resources one needs to tolerate a life of leisure without fatigue”
