According to Apollo 12's Lunar Pilot Capt. Alan Bean's interview with Andrew Chaiken in the book A Man on the Moon, the flag that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin placed on the moon in 1969 did, in fact, blow over when the lunar module Eagle left the surface of the moon. I have not read any other confirmations of this statement.
There are six flags on the moon. Apollo 11's flag is on Mare Tranquillitatis Apollo 12's flag is on Oceanus Procellarum Apollo 14's flag is on Frau Mauro Apollo 15's flag in in the Hadley-Apennines Apollo 16's flag is on Descartes Apollo 17's flag is on Taurus-Littrow None of these flags are visible by even the best telescopes available due to limitations of resolution.
It was American Flag that was first ever put on the moon.
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.
The flag that represents the moon is the moon!
The US flag was placed on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.
Each of the six Apollo missions planted a flag in the moon's surface.

no! it was an American flag!
There are several American flags on the moon. Each Apollo mission to land on the Moon deployed a flag. The Apollo 11 flag was placed close to the lander and may have been damaged by the ascent stage liftoff. Subsequent flags were placed further away to avoid such damage. The Apollo 15 flag is often featured in videos that hoax theorists purport show it "waving in the wind".

Because Ken Mattingly, who graduated from Auburn, was on the Apollo team.
The one planted on the Moon by the Apollo astronauts.
Many say it is a fake as the flag on the moon is waving when there is no wind there.
Yes. It was manufactured on Earth, then carried to the moon and erected there by Apollo astronauts.
