Millenium Patches are made from a .027" thick 6-4 titanium blank, tumbled for more than 24 hours to a smooth, iridescent finish. A laser then deeply engraves our graphics in a very time intensive process. The edges are hand sanded to a smooth, satin finish, and 3M hook backing is permanently applied.

Between 401 and 399 BC 10,000 Greeks marched from Greece to Persia, fought the battle of Cunaxa and then back to Greece.
While simple in description, this expedition is one of legend. The 10,000 faced insurmountable odds across every aspect of their journey, from enemy forces, treacherous mountain passes, skirmishes with locals, lack of supplies, rapidly changing logistics, and even leadership changes mid campaign.
In the end, they found their way into Persia, fought the Persian Empire, and returned home.
A 3,000 mile journey that is a testament to the endurance and discipline required to achieve a seemingly endless journey.
