Man on the Street: What woman inspires you most?

"I can't say just one woman inspired me. I can say women who inspire me are strong, goal oriented, prideful, motivated and don't accept mediocrity as the norm. I always believe going above and beyond is the best way to be; strive to be your greatest. To me, women who portray those traits are the women I look up to and inspire me daily." -- Army Staff Sgt. April Cashdollar, 174th Infantry Brigade trainer and mentor, from Mount Holly, N.J.
