أشيد بشجاعته العسكرية، منح وسام الشجاعة العسكرية
First let's define "dispatches for bravery"
"mentioned in despatches" is an idiomatic expression which means a distinction of bravery conferred upon a soldier/officer by being commended in official military dispatches for bravery, etc.
Please check the first link for a definition below.
Such a "dispatch for bravery" is a sort of certificate that testifies to one's certificate....
Please click the second link for a picture of the "dispatch/certificate" by clicking the picture shown to the right.
وأعتقد أن تكون الترجمة على نحو
مُنِح وسام الشجاعة
حاز شهادة على شجاعته
أُشيد بشجاعته العسكرية
غير أنني حقيقة أميل إلى أن أترجمها
حاز وسام الشجاعة العسكرية
إذ أن كل ما يمنح للمقاتل من شهادات مادية أو معنوية تشيد بشجاعته وبسالته تعتبر وساماً

: سلام علي، إذا كان الموضوع هو سيرة ذاتية لشخص في السلك العسكري من الأفضل عدم ذكر كلمة وسام لأنها قد تدخل ضمن الميداليات التي تمنح عادة ولكنني أوافقك على أشيد بشجاعته

سلام زينة، الأمر لا يرتبط بسيرة ذاتية فحسب، وإنما هي بالفعل شهادة تُمنح لشخص دون الآخرين، أي أنها وسام مادي. ولو كان لابد أن يكون الوسام معدني، فلنقل شُهِد بشجاعته، أو حاز شهادة بشجاعته ، و أشيد بشجاعته كما ذكرت في الإجابة... شكرا جزيلا

Comment: "Thank you very much Dear Ali. My context indicates that this person was awarded medals as well, so I did not use وسام in order to keep distinction between the two. It never occured to me that "Mention in Dispatches" is the idiom!"

: عزيزي سيد، أنا لم أقل أن معنى الكلمة "مهام" لأنها بالفعل لا تعني مهاماً "Dispatches" are reports written up for senior officers for their review. "Dispatches for Bravery" are certificates awarded to brave soldiers for their bravery and gallantry. Thanks

"أُشيد بشجاعته" أو "شُهِد له بالشجاعة" كي نبق في مأمن من الزلل
أطيب أمنياتي لك بالتوفيق
على حد علمي أن كلمة وسام هي واحد من رموز التكريم التي تمنح للمتميزين من جنود أو قادة أو غيرهم.. و هناك عديد من المترادفات لاسيما في مجال التكريم، فهناك أوسمة ونياشين، وميداليات، وأوشحة وقلادات إلخ
ولك أن تختر ماشئت منها ...
