The US flag is on the moon because the US landed there and planted it there to claim and prove we were there.
The US flag was placed on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.
The flag on the moon stays up due to its structure. It has a rod along the top edge to keep it extended and in a flat position, giving the appearance of flying in the wind. There is some gravity on the moon (about 1/6th that of Earth), which also contributes to holding the flag in place.
The first US flag was planted on the moon on July 20, 1969, during the Apollo 11 mission.
The US flag was planted by Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, the first man and second man to walk on the Moon. The iconic photo of Aldrin with the flag was taken by Neil Armstrong. Unfortunately, this flag was too close to the LEM and was blown over when the astronauts took off to leave the Moon.
Although there is gravity on the Moon, the flag had wire strips in it to stop it falling down. This also allowed the flag to look like it was "waving". The Apollo 11 mission flag fell over due to the exhaust blast of the returning flight.
According to the US Flag Code, the US Flag should be larger in size and (if flying on the same pole), at the top of the pole. If flying the American flag with a state flag, the American flag needs to be on a taller pole than the state flag and displayed on the flag's right side. If flying them on poles of equal size, then flying the American flag on the flag's right side is correct.

The only one that 'can't' be lowered is flying on the moon. With proper lighting, any American flag can be flown around the clock.
