6, one for each successful Apollo mission. However, they are now white. This is due to the atmospheric pressure which has caused them to fade/change.

Neil Armstrong planted the U.S Flag on the moon.
The Moon Trees were planted as tribute to Stu Roosa, CMP of Apollo 14.
No. If you look at the moon with the naked eye on Earth, you see craters that look very small. However, the craters are very large, and larger than the American flag Neil Armstrong placed. Because the size difference from Earth effects the size of the craters from the naked eye, you would not be able to see the flag. In fact, from the moon looking back to earth, you can see no man-made structures at all. The distance is too far. Also, the flag was knocked flat by the force of the lunar module's take-off from the surface.
Neil Armstrong planted the U.S. flag on the moon to show the world that the moon was finally conquered. Till then it was only a dream to land on the moon.

As of now, there are six American flags on the Moon. However, they are all white now due to atmospheric pressure. Think about leaving something in the sun, it will fade. On the moon, it occurs at a much faster rate.
United States, the former Soviet Union, Japan and most recently India have flags on the moon. http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/India%27s_flag_lands_on_Moon
