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 several American flags on the moon. Each Apollo mission to land on the Moon deployed a flag.
