During WWII and the Korean War, Western Union Telegrams from the pentagon came in light brown envelopes. They were also used early on in the Vietnam conflict (1965-early 66) but were then replaced with personal notifications from military personnel.

That practice continues today, using National Guard, Reserve, or nearby Active Duty military officers and chaplains to notify families.
