Raising a flag over the Reichstag was created in 1945.
Retreat is played during the lowering of the colors(flag). TAPS(Lights Out) is not.
The only records I have found are still photos. If you have a copy of Flags of Our Fathers by James Bradley, there are photos of the stages of the flag raising. (lowering of one as the second was raised to the photo that caused the sensation)
The sickle and hammer was the flag of the Soviet Union and the swastika the flag of Nazi Germany.
Five Marines and 1 Navy corpsman raised a flag on Mount Suribachi located on the island of Iwo Jima. The photograph which later lead to a Marine memorial was taken by Joe Rosenthal.
Raising the Flag at Ground Zero was created in 2001.
Raising a flag over the Reichstag was created in 1945.

Retreat is played for the lowering of the colors (FLAG).
Retreat.
(WRONG)In the evening when the flag is lowered. TAPS is not played when the colors are lowered, that is called retreat. Reveille is played in the morning during the raising of the colors. Usually about 2200 HOURS (Lights Out) TAPS is played. ---------------- At evening retreat, there are two bugle calls played in succession: "Retreat" then "To The Colors" As already correctly stated "Taps" is played at lights out.
If you mean the raising of the flag as show by the statue in Arlington, Virginia, that would be the battle of Iwo Jima.
I think after the flag is risen we said the pledge.
