In Buck's bio it says that he survived Reach. Well, since he survived Reach he had to be one of the marines on board the Pillar of Autumn. Then he appears here in Halo 3 ODST. So wouldn't that make him one of the marines that got on the last pelican off of the first Halo, along with Sergeant Johnson?

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Not everyone on Reach died, and the Pillar wasn't the only ship to escape. Buck didn't appear in the books, so no, he did not go to Halo.

Other people ran from Reach. Not just the Pillar of Autumn. Master Chief and Johnson were the only ones to survive Halo (not positive).

no johnson escaped with four others,a ODST which I cant remember the name of (not buck) a pilot,an ONI officer and johnson.
apparently there was one other ship which escaped reach and an ONI prowler so most likely on one of them

And only Johnson and the Chief survived from Halo.
Haverson and the ODST i can't remember and one Pelican pilot i can't remember either did not survive.

There where other survivors from Reach but they haven't been mention. Not only that Prowler.

Does anyone even look at these?

I believe the pelican pilot was named Foehammer.

But just because he didn't appear in the books doesn't mean he wasn't there. In the book he could have been considered one of the other ODSTs like the others in Halo: The Flood.

Nope. That was the pilot on Halo not from the book First Strike. Sgt Pete Stacker and Private Chips Dubbo also survived Halo. Its on halopedia.

Johnson, Haverson (Oni), Locklear (ODST), Polaski (Pilot) and the Chief, those were the only 5 survivors of the Halo event. I can't remember how Haverson or Polaski died, but they did, and Locklear commited suicide with an explosive.

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
