Are these unique or rare?

[TNGoldbeard]

Yup. Learning new things all the time.

Good deal, I have probably no less than 30 things with that on it, lol. Shirts, flags, guns, list goes on.

I never knew these were made, pretty sweet!

Upon further research this phrase was made famous by the real king Leondis before the battle with the Persians. The Persian king told the greek to lay down their weapons and accept the new persian king. And Leonidis responded with(amoing other choice words) molon labe. If there are any history buffs out there please correct me or fill in more of the story.

Right. It was made hugely famous after the movie 300, when the Spartans were told to accept being ruled by Persia and lay down their arms. "Come and take them!" Now, in the US, especially in states that are fully behind the 2nd Amendment (right to bear arms), Molan Labe is huge. Where I'm from, you see it everywhere, in Greek, often with a Spartan helmet. T-shirts, hats, bumper stickers, patches. A middle finger, even a dare, from those who legally own arms, to the ones who want to take that right away. Not trying to get political here. Just explaining what the statement Molan Labe means to a lot of Anericans now.

That would be cool. But then again... You'd be fighting off smartasses trying to snatch them from you because "they say come and take them." We all have a buddy or two who would do that.

Didn’t know that standard issue pair had this. It’s “Molon Labe”, Greek for “Come and take them”. Actually makes me want a pair now, though I wish it was on the outside lol

This Fuel Cell says it too. It's real small though, it's in the banner behind the eagle.
