Examples of edmund in a Sentence

  1. Hillary Clinton:

    To anyone who has ever wondered what you would have done during those defining moments that we read about in history books -- whether you would have risked arrest to demand votes for women or bled on the Edmund Pettus bridge to demand voting rights for all -- the answer is what you are doing now could be as important as anything that anyone has done before.

  2. Wallace Kennedy:

    I crossed Edmund Pettus bridge with Edmund Pettus. And Edmund Pettus was so kind and gentle to me. Edmund Pettus helped me find the courage and strength that I needed to find my own voice. And I knew that I wanted to leave my two sons a different legacy than the one that was left for me.

  3. Novak Djokovic:

    It was tough, Edmund is playing really well, he won our last encounter on clay, he has just improved a lot in his game, especially the backhand side. The forehand we know is a big weapon, and he is serving better. Losing the first set was not an ideal situation for me but somehow (I) managed to come back.

  4. Terri Sewell:
