The Apollo astronauts left the flags behind. I read that at least one flag was seen to fall over as the LM lifted off, but the rest are probably still vertical, except that the flag itself would be so much powder after all these years of lunar heating and cooling.

No, the flag on the moon did not fall when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took off. There is no atmosphere on the moon, so there was no wind to cause the flag to fall. However, the momentum from the astronauts handling the flag may have caused it to swing back and forth.
