Yes you can. The facility is called a wire transfer.

If authorized by command regulations, ribbons received while on Active Duty in another service are usually worn either with the standard ribbon device, or in certain situations, on the right breast.

Regulations concerning ribbons and medals are constantly being changed since there is more interservice cooperation now that at any time since WWII, and some previous separate awards are being combined.

In the ensuing years of the Cold War, budget rivalries and other interservice politics led to the development of individual service branch regulations and tactics. These problems were made painfully aware during the Invasion of Grenada, Panama, and other combat actions of the era. The Gulf War was the first implementation of lessons learned from those problems, and the experience gained during Desert Shield/Storm has translated into today's success on the battlefield.
