Parathyroid hormone (PTH), also called parathormone or parathyrin, is a hormone secreted by the parathyroid glands that is important in bone remodeling, which is an ongoing process in which bone tissue is alternately resorbed and rebuilt over time. PTH is secreted in response to low blood serum calcium (Ca 2+) levels.

I stopped at the VFW in Cape Coral Florida and was told they do not accept visitors that belong to the American Legion. I always thought both clubs accepted each others' membership.
