He doesn't say his parents are well known heroes, he said his Great-great Grandfather fought in the war, and that is where he got his sword from. Just because one ancestor was a hero doesn't mean all ancestors are, especially when there is a good two or three generations between the character and said ancestor. Kids don't always follow in their parents footsteps, and quite often decide to do their own thing instead, which would be a reason as to why Jaune's parents haven't been mentioned as being important. Because they're not.
