Why is the amount of base needed to neutralize an acid the same regardless of strength?

This is a simple concept that I can't seem to understand. Why will a strong acid neutralize as much base as a weak acid, if the acids are of the same volume and concentration? A strong acid will dissociate more in solution and thus have a greater number of H+ ions, as far as my understanding goes.
