Between this https://thisibelieve.org/essay/16630/ and https://www.awakin.org/v2/read/view.php?tid=468 there are additional paragraph breaks, which might be attributable to it being transcribed from audio; the first link has an audio recording, the second link does not. In one a pause is transcribed as "-" and in the other as comma.

However, the second awakin.org version is also missing a piece of text:

"I believe in Rodger Young. You and I are free today because of endless unnamed heroes from Valley Forge to the Yalu River. I believe in—I am proud to belong to—the United States. Despite shortcomings—from lynchings, to bad faith in high places—our nation has had the most decent and kindly internal practices and foreign policies to be found anywhere in history."

I had to google Rodger Young: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodger_Young
