According to this site, Gibby's Uncle Fred is General Fred Haynes, a WWII veteran of Iwo Jima, who reflects on this experience in this video. A moving testament from "the greatest generation."
General Haynes has recently published a book "The Lions of Iwo Jima." He is no lightweight, this guy, a member of The Council on Foreign Relations and chairman emeritus of the American Turkish Council.
I'm going to guess that he is Gibby's dad's brother, but I find it weird that the blurb mentions Gibby as the famous nephew but not his father, Mr. Peppermint, as the famous brother. (Well, famous in Texas I suppose.)
Even more impressive is this 2007 video testimony opposing torture of prisoners.

interesting to speculate the link between family
The author on the Navy blog seemed pretty definite about the relationship, wrote about them like he knew the family personally. It would be a strange thing to brag about being related to Gibby Haynes, the world's most obscure yet famous rock musician.
