Probably not. There were many campaign medals issued before WW1 and WW2. So even a WW2 veteran could not wear all these campaign medals. There were also many different medals for bravery and achievements such as Soldier's Medal for saving a life while not in combat. Then there are medals issued for Navy and Marine personnel. Too many to earn by one person.
Remember; Medals are made of metal.
Individual Marines, or the Corps as a whole? The Marine Corps is extremely stingy with its medals. Things that in the Army will get you an Army Commendation Medal won't get you any medals at all in the Marines. The Marines also don't have a lot of the service ribbons the Army has.
noo :)
no
All ribbons (or medals) must be placed using what is called an "Order of Precedence". There are pictured charts available everywhere.

All lost US Army Medals can be replaced once by sending letter to: DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY, US ARMY RESERVE PERSONNEL CENTER, 9700 Page Blvd., St. Louis. Missouri 63132-5200. You must accompany written request with a copy of your discharge (which will list all medals you were awarded), and mention the medals were lost through no fault of your own (stolen, lost during a move, etc.). As far as what the procedure is for the other Armed Services, I don't know. I'm a US ARMY veteran.
Service and/or bravery during their time in the army.
Check the Marine Uniform regulations. They will specify what ribbons you are authorized to wear from the Army. Medals awarded are normally going to be allowed, but ribbons that don't come with medals probably won't be.
yes i have
Yes.
Your DD-214 will have all awards and medals that you have been awarded, however you can submit a request for records through your local VA, but it is a process. You should maintain all documents from your time in service most copies will not be available for reproduction.
