Per a space forum, the US flag is shown in multiple shots (on their space suits, on the side of the Lunar Module, etc.). There is also the fact that the flag wasn't easy to set up due to the hard ground and telescoping arm. It took both Armstrong and Aldrin working together some time and effort to do it. It wasn't like like the movies where Columbus walks off the boat onto the beach and in 2 seconds sticks a flag in the sand.
