The U.S. flag was flying at the U.S. embassy in Havana, which was closed in 1961 at the height of the Cold War.
From a New Yorker article about the ceremony:
In a Hollywood-like touch, three elderly men, former Marines who had lowered the flag in 1961, and who, we learned from Kerry, had vowed to one day return to Havana and raise Old Glory again, were seated in the front row. They were given the honor of handing the flag over to their present-day replacements, young Marines who proceeded to raise it.
