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.
Ribbons and medals are worn on the jumper or service coat on dress white. When worn together they are worn such that the ribbons are arranged row-wise, inbound to outbound based on precedence order.
All ribbons (or medals) must be placed using what is called an "Order of Precedence". There are pictured charts available everywhere.

Medal ribbons are specific to the medal and identify it.
Medals and ribbons on an Air Force uniform are worn on the left side of the uniform jacket. Ribbons are arranged in order of precedence, with the highest-ranking ribbon at the top and centered above the left pocket. Medals are typically worn during formal occasions and are placed directly above the ribbons, also centered. It’s important to follow specific guidelines for spacing and alignment as outlined in the Air Force Instruction (AFI) regulations.
