Kyle's home address was publicly available on the Antioch PD's handwritten complaint ticket, images of which are still readily googleable. I'm sure anything you send to that address will be forwarded appropriately.
But be careful about treating this kid like some kind of saint. About 3 weeks before the shooting, he was cited for speeding (24 mph over speed limit) and driving without a valid license. He attempted to join the Marines in January and was rejected (reason not known due to USMC privacy policy). I'm impressed with how he handled himself in Kenosha, when he tried to help, only to find himself in a life-threatening situation, but he's just a kid, who has made lots of mistakes, and will probably make more.
I don't think it's really appropriate for any company or organization or public figure (e.g. self-promoting attorneys) to try to identify itself with Kyle at this stage. He just needs to be a model defendant right now, and follow his real attorney's advice to the letter. His attorney is Mark Richards (of Wisconsin), and any attempt to communicate with Kyle should really go through this attorney's office.
I appreciate all the input and we will see if we can go those routes.
As far as the speeding we all did dumb stuff as kids. It is stupid but you learn as you get older.
The USMC rejection is like you said, unknown. It could be a health condition or something more troubling.
We honestly just want the kid to feel some support. He's not a saint, nobody is, but at some point conservatives have to actually show support to one another. I would prefer he didn't show it on camera, but if he did I wouldn't disown the kid. I'm not sponsoring him, but I would say that he has my support. He didn't go out there looking for what happened to happen. Video shows that.
Just send him a nice personal letter of support, mentioning your appreciation for his effort to protect businesses, since you're a small business owner yourself, and expressing hope that he will be found innocent by the courts. I'm sure that would mean a lot more to him than any approach that could be interpreted as trying to gain some benefit for yourself by associating your business with him in any way.
Plan to and I hope others will as well. This is just to try to do something more personable.

Just our thought process.
Thank you!

That's a good idea and I appreciate that.
