As I recall, somewhere in all the details recorded by the astronauts in their books and interviews, when the Apollo XI lifted off, the blast knocked the flag over. So Mission Accomplished.

Subsequent missions planted the flag further down. 

Personally, I've always like Peter S. Beagle's line from the intro to "The Hobbit":

"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discovers – thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses."

When we go back to the moon, how about we don't cram God and Country down everyone's throat?

The Apollo astronauts were nothing like Columbus and the Conquistadores or other age of exploration powers.  They even left a plaque containing the words “we came in peace for all Mankind” on the surface.
