Thanks for your service.
I paid for my college via the USAF. I'm helping my kids with similar deals that you describe.
With hard work, part-time jobs, good ACT preparation and well-chosen schools, college is definitely in reach.

Thank you for the kind words.
I believe that children learn from observing their parents. It sounds like you are off to a great start.
If any of your kids are close to fitting the cadet/midshipman profile, make sure to encourage them to consider service academies. They are not impossible to get into.
I think all of the academies have week long summer experience programs for HS Juniors. My daughter went to two of them and confirmed that it was a good fit for her.
My oldest graduates and commissions this Spring and has had a wonderful experience, including spending a semester studying abroad, a couple of shorter overseas trips, internships in DC, and so on.
