Wearing military patches is a matter of personal choice, and there are no legal restrictions on doing so. Whether you choose to wear one patch or several, you can do so with confidence knowing that you are not breaking any laws. (Source)
Army patches are more than just simple pieces of cloth. They are emblems that represent the soldier’s duty, rank, and unit.
There are several different types of badges and insignias and they can change according to the current Army Uniform in use. Some of them are pinned (just like Enamel Lapel Pins) and others are sewn or attached with a hook and look system like Hook and Loop, this is the case of embroidered, woven or PVC patches.
The following schema shows the position of the different insignias (Patches and Pins) on the Advanced Combat Uniform (ACU) of the US Army.

The first is the Branch Tape. This is a patch that represents the soldier’s branch of service. It is located at the right chest. It says US Army on the ACU.
The second is the name tape. This tape goes above the right breast pocket and has the soldier’s last name embroidered on it.
The third is the rank patch. This patch is worn on the left shoulder and indicates the soldier’s current rank.
The fourth type of patch is the unit patch. This patch represents the brigade, battalion, or troop to which the soldier belongs.
The fifth type of patch is the ensigned. This is a small flag that is worn on the left shoulder and indicates that the soldier is a member of the Army Reserve or National Guard.
The sixth type of patch is the tab. Tabs are worn on the shoulder and indicate that the soldier has completed a special course or training program.
The seventh and final type of patch is the morale patch. This patch is worn on the right shoulder and is usually humorous in nature.
An Army brigade is like a second family that binds you to your fellow soldiers, and the shield of your unit may be as meaningful to you as a family crest.
If you didn’t serve but want to pay tribute to a deceased loved one or friend, Custom Army patches are excellent additions to a memorial, especially if they’re joined with the division and regiment in which they served. (Source)

With a machine:
If you need to sew army patches onto your uniform, there are a few simple steps you can follow.
First, lay out the uniform and iron it to ensure that there are no wrinkles or creases.
Next, take your patch and position it onto the uniform where you want it to go.
Once you have decided on the placement, temporarily secure the patch with a piece of tape or a pin.
Then, set up your sewing machine and thread it with the appropriate color of thread.
When you are ready to start sewing, begin at a low speed and sew around the edge of the patch. Be sure to seal the edges of the patch so that it will not come off in the future. Finally, cut away any loose threads and try on your newly patched uniform.
By hand:
A neatly sewn patch can enhance the look of a uniform and show pride in one’s appearance. It is a fairly simple process to sew a patch onto a uniform by hand, and all that is needed is a needle, thread, and a little time. First, the uniform should be laid out flat and ironed if necessary. Then, the position of the patch should be determined and the patch placed on the uniform.
The thread can be cut into a single long piece or several shorter pieces, depending on preference, and fed through the needle’s eye.
It is important to start sewing from the inside of the uniform so that the knots do not show on the outside.
Straight stitches should be sewn all the way around the edge of the patch, taking care to keep the stitches even. Finally, the thread should be sealed with a tight knot on the inside of the uniform and any excess length cut off. With just a few simple steps, it is easy to add a well-sewn patch to a uniform.
