Richard Mgrdechian is an engineer, a problem-solver by nature. The problem, as he saw it: There werent any patriotic, pro-America hard rock bands.
So he created one.
They fight and die for our freedom No one had to ask them to do Without a moments hesitation
For the red, white and blue!
Soldiers of America
Mgrdechian, 45, was a high school senior growing up in Bayside, Queens when Born in the USA hit. He loved the album cover the blue jeans, the flag. He loved the title. He even loved the song at first. It definitely grabbed me right away because the music and chorus were so powerful and direct, says Mgrdechian from his Midtown office. I just assumed it was the ultimate pro-American song.

Mgrdechian
Attack him hell, I can’t even pronounce him.
Springsteen early stuff was Ok...but his later stuff was lousy.
We were talking about over-rated music groups...I said Springsteen.
Heres hoping this band hits it big..good luck guys.
So how the blazes do you pronounce “Mgrdechian”?
Thanks for the tip, I’ll be looking for them online.
Thanks for the link
Local Altoona band has a good patriotic song, “In God We Trust”. Hardcore metal, but supports soldiers.
Thank you for the link. We’ll be supporting this group not only because of their theme, but also because they produce terrific exercise and housecleaning music. (Go ahead and criticize my taste; I like everything except Notre Dame Organum.)
Hey creek! Watch it! Mgrdechian is my middle name!
I think it’s Armenian.
Had a girlfriend who taught grade school on Milwaukee’s South Side. She had a student named Trzybiatowski. I asked her how Trzyb was pronounced?
She told me “Sheb.”
I guess he never heard of 3 Doors Down. It’s not exactly my kind of music, but Citizen Soldier and Love Me When I’m gone are about as pro-soldier as you can possibly get.
**I guess he never heard of 3 Doors Down.**
Always room for one more ...
I posted this to a music thread last night. Definitely a pro military bunch.
