USSNC Board celebrating Swiss National Day

Swiss National Day

Swiss National Day, set on August 5,  is the national holiday of Switzerland celebrating the founding of the Swiss Confederacy by the Alpine cantons of Schwyz, Uri and Unterwalden in 1291.  Swiss National Day was first celebrated in 1891 and annually since 1899.  Swiss around the world join together and celebrate their love for Switzerland.  This year we celebrated with a Virtual TV Show and our first online auction.
