Just broke down and bought Uncommon Valor...they spelled it wrong though, should be Valour.  :)  I'm calling it an early Father's Day present...to myself.

Give me a few days to figure it out and then "Game On".

Had to bump this...but Rip gave me a nice excuse.

I think the word valour (although derived from French) is actually an ENGLISH word.  This implies that the original version of it came from ENGLAND.  Valour is therefore the correct spelling, not some shortened lazy version. ;)

Just because it came from Europe doesn't mean it was correctly spelled. ;)
