We landed on the moon and placed a flag there July 1969. By putting the flag there we were claiming that part of the moon for the United States. This tradition goes back centuries to the first explorers claiming lands for their country. Today, the flag is still on the moon and just as good as it was the day it was placed . On the moon there is no wind or rain to cause damage.
The first US flag was planted on the moon on July 20, 1969, during the Apollo 11 mission.
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 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 US has flown to the moon six times between 1969 and 1972 as part of the Apollo program. Each mission landed astronauts on the lunar surface and brought them safely back to Earth.

Any state flag should be flown below or level with the US Flag, but never above it. If it is on the same level it should be on the right, this includes Texas. The rumor that Texas is the only state that is allowed to fly at level with the US Flag is just that a rumor and an urban myth.

All Day. It can be flown at night if a light is shined on it.
The American Flag should always be flown higher than the state flag and should be flown a half-mast when in peril or in rememberance.
