Events are planned across the country later in support of five Royal Marines charged with murder over an incident in Afghanistan last year.
The unnamed five have been released from custody back to their unit, with restrictions on their movements.
The "show support" events are being organised in several cities including Edinburgh, Swansea, Norwich and London.
The Ministry of Defence says it would be inappropriate to comment further on the ongoing investigation.
Green lapel ribbons - some bearing the words "Free the 5" - will be worn by those who say the charges are unjust.
The ribbons will also raise money to pay for any costs to their families.
Meanwhile, thousands of people have joined a Facebook group in support of the marines.
All five marines - who have been granted anonymity - are charged with the murder of an unknown Afghan national.
The incident happened when 3 Commando Brigade were based in Helmand, on their fourth tour of duty in Afghanistan.
The marines were arrested by the Royal Military Police after suspicious video footage was found on a laptop by civilian police in the UK. A plea hearing is due to take place in December.
It is believed to be the first time UK servicemen have been arrested and charged with such an offence during the Afghanistan conflict.
