I see from your response below that you are sorry you mentioend you were in the military as that has nothing to do with your complaint.
As others have said, we weren't there so we don't know exactly what happened....but your issue is with Expedia (which is exactly why I don't book via third party websites).
I don't understand how you can expect Delta, or any airline, to give you travel vouchers on any airline you want. It's not that Delta failed to address your problem - it's that they didn't address it in the way you wanted.

I feel the need to state this. I have complaints with BOTH Expedia and Delta. Some commenters on here feel that I should only be getting tickets from Expedia. Look, I've made a complaint with them as well, when I finally hear back from them I will update everyone. As for this particular letter, it is in regards to Delta's poor customer service. Some feel that free tickets is asking for too much, I for one do not. I detest disrespect, it shouldn't have any place in society, that is, if we truly are civilized. I think one of the problems in our society is that people are often more likely than not going to sit back and take disrespect, I for one will not. My time is vaulable (at least to me and thats what matters most), and after spending 6+ hours on the phone trying to get new travel arrangements, to be met with disrespect, is unacceptable. So for being disrespected, wasteing my time and going thru the hassle we did, to me that's worth two tickets.

I am a former military spouse who raised 2 small kids alone during 2 deployments. I know that being a member/spouse to a soldier is hard but please don't use that as a way to get freebies or special consideration. Last time I checked, no one has been drafted lately and soldiers and their families do get compensated though pay, BAH,insurance,time off,etc. And for the love of God, don't start whining about how poor soldiers are. No one everyone expects our military members to be on food stamps. When my ex was in, we were rolling in it between the pay and all of the benefits. Try surviving on the outside and you will see how "rich" you are right now.

In your original letter you complained about Expedia as being the source of your problem. Now you get two $50 vouchers and an apology from Delta and you are still wanting more. As Nate pointed out that is pretty good compensation from any airline nowdays.
If you want to continue this then keep contacting Expedia regarding your original issues.

while I do agree with you that the situation was not at all handled properly and I am very sorry you had to miss your friend's wedding, I can't help but feel that your frustration is overriding your ability to remain rational about this.
Delta at least did SOMETHING when the issue was ultimately with Expedia. As for your wife's treatment, while they surely could have been more sensitive, I can imagine tension was running high during that conversation and tempers may have been running short on both ends. Not that it is an excuse, but it should be put into perspective.
And finally, as the sister of an active duty Navy officer currently stationed in Iraq, I thank you for your service to our country. However, I am disappointed that you would use that service as leverage in this situation. You were not traveling on military business and the situation had nothing to do with your job. Including that bit of information was not relevant and a bit unfair given the way most people in this country view the military. Your service is a sacrifice, but it is also an honor and to use it in this way lessens the value, IMO.
I hope you can come to some sort of resolution on this situation, be it from Expedia or Delta.

but how do you justify comping a rude experience with free airfare? Sure, you can make demands, but they should at least be reasonable to the infraction. Even in a court of law, the awards have to match the damages.
What I see people saying here is that Delta did as much as they felt was appropriate given their responsibility in the debacle. If you were going this vehemently after Expedia, I doubt you would be getting this kind of response.

from Expedia. As soon as I do I'll be sure to share the results. The only reason I've been so vehement towards Delta is because they've replied. Everyone has different ideas of what they feel is appropriate. Keep in mind I would probably be happy if I got an apology from management or someone who has more invested in the company than a customer service rep, as well as a little bit more than two $50 vouchers. I'm of the mindset, that in this situation, if I just ask for what would make me happy, I'd less than I ask for, so I ask for higher. Remember my original request was for travel between to specific points.
