Ubisoft has never replied to any question of whom it was that may have denied them permission. No direct question, letter, or post on this has ever been acknowledged by them. There is just the assertion by a moderator that permission was denied by someone unknown.

US Dept. of Defense regulations specifically permit such artistic use of such emblems. There is no ban.

Ubisoft is selling games currently and has recently released others that contain accurate representations of US decorations. Il2-46, for example, comes with a complete set of US decorations and is currently on store shelves. There are even games in which US decorations are part of the name or cover art, not just appearing on a internal game screen.
