Froylán (Yorf Zednan) from Alpine, TX
Marine
and
Froylán, a wildlife biologist by trade and Marine by choice, and his family live in Alpine, TX, in
the Big Bend area of Far West Texas. He finds joy in all things outdoors and is an avid
runner, hiker, backpacker, camper, hunter, and all fun activities that end in “er.” Froylán is
also the proud father of 2 daughters and 1 son. They have all been very active in sports,
including track, cross country, softball, baseball, and football. From a very young age, his
son and middle child, Ylán, created drawings of military scenes but never really spoke about
joining. A year after graduating from high school, he opted to enlist, in his own words, “the
most challenging and professional of all the military branches.” In July 2024, he was
welcomed into the ranks of The Few, The Proud. Like Father, Like Son!
From a Marine’s perspective, Froylán had a pretty good idea what his son would endure
while in boot camp….but he had NO idea what it would be like as a Marine parent!
Fortunately, MarineParents provided daily information and connections to other Marine
parents experiencing similar emotions. He found comfort in interacting with those parents
and, at times, provided his own personal experience and encouraging words. This
motivated Froylán to volunteer for MarineParents and provide others with what
MarineParents gave him.
