You can either add a heading to your section as the warning suggests or replace the 

<section></section>

with a 

<div></div>

More info at: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24155024/w3c-html-validation-error-section-lacks-heading-consider-using-h2-h6-elements

Hope this helps?

I added the "div" to it in place of "section" and that worked beautifully! Thank you!
