The “Ring of Honor”

The base of the Capitol dome is decorated, in six-inch gold letters, with the names of donors who contributed at least $1 million to the dome’s construction, referred to as “the ring of honor”, a concept usually limited to the most prominent players on professional football teams. Donors so named include Halliburton, Hobby Lobby Stores, “the People of Oklahoma”, and General Motors.

“This Capitol is sponsored by…!” 😬
