                        IN MEMORY OF VINCE FLYNN

  (Mrs. BACHMANN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BACHMANN. Mr. Speaker, on Monday of this week, Lysa, her 
children, and thousands of admirers gathered at St. Paul Cathedral in 
St. Paul, Minnesota, to bury the legendary author Vince Flynn.
  Vince Flynn was known and beloved as a Minnesotan and a great 
American. He lost his battle with cancer just this last week. He left 
behind a wonderful family, a beautiful family. He left behind a 
literary body of work. And, most importantly, he left behind his deep 
and abiding faith in Jesus Christ. In his hand he held the rosary and 
also his beloved cell phone.
  Vince educated America on the threat of Islamic jihad. We will 
forever remember his strength, courage, and his faith. He had a life 
well-lived. We will never forget the contributions to America by the 
wonderful and legendary Vince Flynn.
