Stephen Sandstrom - Early Life

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.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    The early Christian rules of life were not made to last, because the early Christians did not believe that the world itself was going to last.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    The richest princes and the poorest beggars are to have one great and just judge at the last day who will not distinguish between them according to their ranks when in life but according to the neglected opportunities afforded to each. How much greater then, as the opportunities were greater, must be the condemnation of the one than of the other?
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
