Check your discharge papers. You should have been issued a DD214 upon discharge. It will list all of your awards as well as your unit history and dates of service. You can contact the appropriate service if you cannot locate yours.

Can army wear marine combat patches?
No, and the answer is simple. We haven't used patches since about WW2. However if your question is in regards to personal awards such as Medals or Service Robin's the answer in most instances is Yes. If you enlist in any of the branches as a prior service member, i.e. someone who served in a different branch prior to enlisting in the current one, you are allowed to wear any awards earned during service with the prior.
