Oliver North, retired United States Marine Corps Lt. Colonel and former National Security Council aide, spoke to about 1,300 fans at the Gardenside Baptist Church in July 1992. North was in town to speak at the church’s “God Bless America” celebration. He was convicted in the IranÐContra affair of the late 1980s but his convictions were vacated and reversed, and all charges against him dismissed in 1991. North, now the president of the National Rifle Association will be the featured speaker for a Kentucky Republican rally tonight at Murray State University. Photo by Frank Anderson | Staff
